La Gomera, the perfect place to learn from the most authentic nature

Located to the south of Gran Canaria, Montaña Arena beach is one of the few virgin spots around. It’s a favourite place for locals who come to get away from the crowds. The sand is very fine and the water is transparent. Unfortunately because access to the water is a little challenging it’s not a recommended place for families.

Acua Water Park is located in the resort town of Corralejo, in the north of Fuerteventura. The only water park on the island offers a breathtaking view of Corralejo, Lobos Island and even Lanzarote. Just slide down from the top of the Rapid River, its star attraction. Being in the town centre, the park is easy to get to and you can round the day off with a fresh fish dinner in one of the restaurants along the promenade.

In the pedestrian area of the old town of Valsequillo we can find several places of interest: The Church of San Miguel, the sculpture of “San Miguel el Chico”, the Barracks of El Colmenar or the Parish Church. The El Colmenar Barracks are currently one of Valsequillo’s most important historical heritage sites, declared a Place of Cultural Interest.

The welcoming Anfi del Mar harbour is located in the south of Gran Canaria, next to the beach and tourist complex of the same name. It offers 93 moorings, crane, travelift and trailer, and is suitable for boats of up to 20 metres in length. The Anfi del Mar harbour has mechanical and repair, captaincy, and sailing services. The pontoons also offer drinking water, electricity and internet connection.

This museum, inaugurated in 2002, is located in a suburb of the Villa de La Orotava, Pinolere, and its 3,000 square meter facilities recreate different aspects of the architectural, agricultural, environmental and socio-cultural landscape characteristic of the midlands of the Orotava Valley. The center has a threshing floor, different earthen houses, corrals with chickens and rabbits, a vegetable garden with medicinal plants and its characteristic straw houses or haystacks, traditional constructions used as dwellings, now used as exhibition halls. A meticulous reproduction of a traditional "sale" is another of its contents of interest.

The Grain Museum in is located in the Casa de La Cilla, in La Oliva, in the north of Fuerteventura. This old stone building of great historic value was restored to house this museum. Visitors can learn about the island’s farming history and will be amazed by the importance that cereals had in the life of Fuerteventura. This interesting tour—which includes a photography exhibition that helps us to better understand the work done in the fields—shows how factors such as overgrazing helped form the island’s current austere landscape.

The beautiful landscapes of the Tejeda municipality hide several stone giants, including the Roque Bentayga. From a scenic point of view, this place offers us a unique show, which Unamuno defined as “a petrified storm.” The Tejeda canyon, often called the Grand canyon, stuns when seen from a central perspective, from the very heart of the hydrographic basin. This rock is part of the Protected Natural Spaces Network.

You are at a lookout point composed of two distinct parts. The first, facing west, offers privileged views of the Teide and La Palma, whose silhouette can be seen on clear days. The second part is composed by a curious vision of volcanic form with the appearance of a rose that will not fail to make an impact. To see the object it is necessary to access a passage by foot that crosses the road underneath leading to the other side of the road. From a small parking lot downhill you can access directly to "La Rosa." Highly recommended.
