Why you’ll love this…

You'll visit the picture-postcard mountain village of Teror, famed for its Marian basilica
There's ample time to discover the village of Tejeda at the foot of the famous Roque Nublo
You'll tour an aloe vera plantation and learn about the plant's medicinal properties
The chance to admire Gran Canaria's volcanic landscapes, including the Tirajanas crater
The tour is led by an expert local guide with an unrivalled knowledge of Gran Canaria

What to expect

This tour packs in all of Gran Canaria's must-sees – volcanic landscapes, mountain villages and more. You'll tick off the towns of Tejeda and Teror, and an aloe vera plantation. David, one of our local guides, says, ‘This is one of my favourite tours. It's got villages, volcanoes and local products. It's the grand slam. But what I most enjoy telling is the legend of the apparition of the Virgin Mary in Teror. It changed the island forever.'

First, you'll delve into the valleys and mountains of the interior, and it all starts at Degollada de las Yeguas viewpoint. Next, head to an aloe vera plantation to get the lowdown on its medicinal properties. Generations of islanders have used extracts from the plant for skin ailments. Then, it's on to the flower-festooned, whitewashed village of Tejeda. David adds, ‘Every time there's a list of Spain's prettiest villages, Tejeda is located in a prominent position. Its setting is unbeatable.'

It's onto equally beautiful Las Lagunetas for lunch next. Enjoy a typical Canarian meal made from locally sourced ingredients in a family-owned restaurant. From here, Teror beckons. To stroll past its balconied homes towards the mountain-framed basilica of Our Lady of the Pine is one of the defining Gran Canaria experiences. And to round off the day, there's a stop at the volcanic Tirajanas crater.

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

Villages, 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.

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.
