Las Nieves Natural Park is formed by the mountains of Los Sauces and Las Nieves, located in the northern part of the island and distributed in three municipalities: San Andrés y Sauces, Santa Cruz de La Palma and Puntallana. Continuous erosion over time has shaped a rugged landscape dominated by huge ravines such as: Barranco del Agua, Barranco de San Juan, Barranco de la Fuente and Barranco de Nogales. It is worth mentioning the abundance of water springs, one of the most important and well known being Marcos y Cordero. The vegetation of the area is composed of dense scrub in the highest parts, followed by pine forest communities. At lower altitudes, one of the best masses of laurel forest in the Canary Islands develops.

This protected area was declared an Integral Nature Reserve of Inagua in 1987. This reserve is included within the area of the Nublo Rural Park and covers the municipalities of Tejeda, Mogán and San Nicolás de Tolentino. The mountains, Inagua, Ojeda and Pajonales are home to one of the best-preserved natural pine forests in Gran Canaria. This feature, together with the fact that it is home to several major ravine sources, such as the Mulato and the Mogán, means that it plays a key role in groundwater recharge and soil conservation. Furthermore, this area is of great scientific, geological and geomorphological interest and has a spectacular landscape.

The Pinar de Garafía (Garafía Pine Forest) Integral Nature Reserve is one of the best examples of pine forests on the island and one of the best preserved in the Canary Islands. Its location, in the north of La Palma, the part of the island that receives the moisture from the winds, makes it very important for recharging the underground aquifer and protecting the soil. In addition to the pine, it is home to numerous protected endemic species, such as the Echium callithyrsum, elder and giant fennel. As for fauna, there are birds such as the blue tit and the laurel pigeon.

Located in the north of Gran Canaria, this beautiful rural park of great ecological and scenic value is named after the 15th century aboriginal warrior, well-known for his bravery. Within this park, which covers more than 3,500 hectares of protected land, are located the Nature Reserves of Barranco Oscuro, Los Tiles de Moya and Azuaje, where several of the best preserved laurel forests in the Canary Islands remain.

The Pilancones Natural Park is located in the southern half of the island of Gran Canaria and was declared a protected area in 1987 in order to preserve this ecologically sensitive site. The Ayagaures and Pilancones mountains are located in this area, the oldest on the island, with materials that are more than 12 million years old. It also borders the Nublo Rural Park and the Fataga Protected Landscape. Due to its characteristics, this area plays a key role in the protection of the soil and the recharging of the aquifer through which several ravines of great geomorphological interest and scenic beauty run in a southerly direction. On the summit there is a pine forest whose characteristics are very suitable for birdlife, which is why it has been catalogued as a Special Protection Area for Birds.

The Vallebrón Protected Landscape is located between the towns of La Oliva and Puerto del Rosario, in the north of the island of Fuerteventura. It is a geomorphological unit representative of the island and of great scenic value. It covers an area of almost 1,680 hectares, which represents 3.5% of the island's protected area. Vallebrón presents a landscape characterised by an elongated ridge with a knife-like relief flanked by two large U-shaped ravines, Valle Largo (Long Valley) and Valle Chico (Small Valley). At the southernmost point of the ridge is the Montaña de la Muda, a place of historical interest as it is home an unusual ancient burial site.

The Tibataje Special Nature Reserve, located in the western part of the island of El Hierro, is made up of marine rocks and a large mountain ridge, which rises gradually from sea level and reaches an altitude of just over 1,000 metres. Its slopes bear witness to the coastal erosion processes that caused the coastline to recede, forming part of a rugged landscape of extraordinary biological and scenic value. It is a superb refuge for seabirds and a nesting site for a number of protected species.

The north Gran Canaria town of Arucas grew out of the farming boom in the Canary Islands in the years after their discovery. The town was rich thanks to cochineal bugs, used for red dye, and a later banana boom. Rebuilt as early as 1478 after a fire, it became a city at the end of the 19th Century. Its famous rum is named after its original guanche name Arehucas, and is still made today in a factory dating back to the 19th Century. It is open for visits.
