Itinerary
We start the route heading north to visit Arucas, a small town famous for its large expanses of banana plantations and its production of sugar cane, considered “white gold” in past centuries. There we will walk through the old town and see the impressive neo-Gothic church of San Juan Bautista, one of the most emblematic buildings on the island.
Next, we will visit Firgas, a charming little village that we popularly defined as the municipality of water due to its 30-metre waterfall fountain located in one of the streets in the center.
On the way to the far northwest, we will appreciate the agricultural richness of the area, especially the banana, potato, and vegetable crops. Our next destination will be Agaete where an explosion of aromas, flavours and colours will flood our senses: fruit trees, coffee plantations, banana plantations, vineyards, and tropical fruits……. To experience it, nothing better than a guided visit to the La Laja estate and its Bodega Los Berrazales, (the only coffee producers on the island), a wonderful environment where we include the entrance fee, a coffee tasting, and a wine tasting.
Our last destination will be Puerto de la Nieves, a fishing village par excellence, where we will have free time for lunch (not included in the price) or a stroll at your leisure. Return to the hotel / Las Palmas at 17.00h (approx.).
