Sun, sea and perfect peace
On the sun-drenched southern side of Gran Canaria, just a 20-minute drive from the airport, San Agustin holidays are all about enjoying a chilled-out vibe, having lots of family fun and enjoying the incredible weather. With its sheltered beach, San Agustin is the perfect place to take the kids and watch them splash in and out of the deep blue sea, while you soak up the year-round Canarian sunshine or relax under an umbrella with a book.
Holidays to San Agustin are ideal for those who aren’t interested in partying or the busiest nightlife, as evenings are wonderfully peaceful. It’s all about enjoying a good meal at one of the many restaurants in the resort. Freshly caught seafood is popular, as is Spanish tapas and paella, as well as Canarian dishes, such as ‘papas arrugadas’ (wrinkly potatoes) and ‘mojo rojo’ (spicy sauce) – not forgetting the odd glass of excellent local wine.

Full-day Gran Canaria tour with Teror, Tejeda and typical lunch
76 reviewsVillages, 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.
