Canary Islands Off the Beaten Path Tips by spetterke

Gran Canaria is a walking paradise.We bought a guide from the English 'Sunflower Landscapes' to discover the most beautiful 'Barranco's' (valleys or canyons).There is one problem ! Most of these trips are one way,and to get your car on the end of the walking tour is not that easy,because when you drive these roads with an average of 16 curves in one kilometer,you understand that you spent a lot of time to get at the end.We mostly did a piece of the track ,just upon a beautiful picnicspot and then returned to our starting place. In the center around Tejeda there where a few round away walkings.See the pics in the travelogue and discover some unknown places.

If you like to drive around on the island,there is one road you should'n miss at all.Drive from ARTENARA to ACUSA then trough the BARRANCO DE ALDEA to SAN NICOLAS de Tolentino. Take the same way back,and after a barrage on a junction just before a little tunnel,go right and pass the little village of EL CARRIZAL and end on the main road nearby AYACATA.(for an impression see pics in travelogue)

Another pretty car trip is the road from AYACATA to CRUZ de San ANTONIO and then on a gravel road steep downhill to MOGAN.For this gravel road you don't need a 4X4.It's a shame that I forgot my camera that day,and I have no pics of this road and our visit to the romantic (and touristic) place of PUERTO DE MOGAN.
