Das Meer, der Strand, die Stadt
Wenn du am goldenen Sandstrand von Las Canteras liegst und die vulkanische Landschaft am Horizont siehst, vergisst du leicht, dass du mitten in Las Palmas bist, der geschäftigen Hauptstadt von Gran Canaria. Ein Gran Canaria-Urlaub in Las Canteras bietet denn auch eine ideale Kombination aus bequemem Strandleben und städtischen Attraktionen. Für Schwimmer ist Las Canteras ein beschaulicher Ort – das Wasser in der Nähe des Riffs ist ruhig und seicht und somit ideal für Kinder.
Du kannst an der langen Promenade entlangschlendern, -radeln oder -laufen und in einem der vielen Restaurants etwas essen oder ein Bier von hier trinken. Für etwas Abwechslung in deinem Gran Canaria-Urlaub in Las Canteras sorgt ein Ausflug in das historische Zentrum von Las Palmas, die sogenannte Vegueta mit ihren großen Plätzen und den von Palmen umgebenen stattlichen Kolonialbauten. Hier findest du Museen zur Geschichte der Kanaren sowie eine lebhafte Bar- und Restaurantszene. Wer gerne einkaufen geht, sollte sich in der Calle Triana und der Avenida José Mesa y López mit Schmuck und Mode eindecken.

Full-day Gran Canaria tour with Teror, Tejeda and typical lunch
76 BewertungenVillages, viewpoints and volcanic rocks dot Gran Canaria's jagged spine. This tour weaves its way through some of the island's most dramatic landscapes, stopping along the way to visit gems such as Teror, Tejeda and Fataga. David, one of our local guides, says, ‘The legend of the apparition of the Virgin Mary in Teror still intrigues me. It was in 1481, amid the Castilian conquest of Gran Canaria, and it helped change the island's destiny.'And Teror is where your adventure begins. Strolling past the balconied townhouses of Calle Real de la Plaza towards the mountain-framed basilica of Our Lady of the Pine is one of the defining Gran Canaria experiences. A scenic mountain drive away is Tejeda, which is a bit of a looker itself – red-roofed, whitewashed houses sprinkled on the slope of a valley. David adds, ‘Every time there's a list of Spain's prettiest villages, Tejeda is near the top. Its setting is unbeatable.' There's also a pit stop at Las Tirajanas viewpoint to admire a vast volcanic caldera, as we make our way to Fataga to eat. A lunch made from locally sourced ingredients will be served in a family-owned restaurant. After a little amble through the town, we'll visit a nearby aloe vera plantation to get the lowdown on its medicinal properties. Generations of islanders have used extracts from the plant for skin burns.
