Stop 1 Puerto de Mogán

Puerto de Mogán, often referred to as "Little Venice" due to its charming network of canals and bridges, is a picturesque village in the South of Gran Canaria. Nestled between rugged cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean, Puerto de Mogán is charmed by stunning views and whitewashed buildings adorned with colourful bougainvillea flowers, creating a postcard-perfect setting.

At the heart of Puerto de Mogán you will find the marina, lined with cafes, restaurants, and shops. Take a stroll along the waterfront promenade and admire the yachts and fishing boats.

Puerto de Mogán has a network of small canals, which wind their way through the village and connect the marina to the beach. Small bridges span the canals, creating a romantic and picturesque atmosphere. It's the perfect place to start your Gran Canaria Highlights Tour.

Stop 2 Los Azulejos

From the picturesque setting of Puerto de Mogán, the next stop on the Gran Canaria Highlights tour takes you to the rugged interior of the island.

Los Azulejos (wall tiles) is characterised by its striking geological formations, including cliffs, ravines, and rocky outcrops. What makes it truly unique are the colorful layers of sedimentary rock, which display vibrant shades of blue, green, orange, and red. These layers have been formed over millions of years through the deposition of minerals and volcanic activity.

The colourful patterns and textures of Los Azulejos make it a paradise for photographers so get your camera or phone ready to take some distincive photos for your social media pages!

Stop 3 La Aldea de San Nicolás

The charming village of La Aldea de San Nicolás is renowned for its natural beauty, with dramatic landscapes that include steep cliffs, lush valleys, and rugged coastline. The surrounding mountains offer numerous hiking trails, providing opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to explore the area's diverse terrain.

The village is also rich in cultural heritage, with historic buildings, churches, and monuments that reflect its Spanish colonial past. The village hosts various cultural events and festivals throughout the year, providing visitors with the opportunity to experience traditional music, dance, and cuisine.

Stop 4 Lunch stop in Agaete

The west coast of Gran Canaria provides excursion goers with stunning scenery, beautiful cliffs and coastline roads that eventually bring us to the Port of Las Nieves in Agaete where you can see the remains of the ancient "Finger of God". During this stop you can have lunch in a typical fisherman's restaurant. This isn't included in the price of the tour but can be purchased locally. Not hungry?

Stop 6 Alfredo Krauss Auditorium and Las Canteras Beach
