My tip“Taste the almond dessert in the village bakeries, stop at the Cruz de Tejeda viewpoint, then Roque Bentayga. The drive from Las Palmas takes an hour.”
A village among the “most beautiful villages in Spain”, in the heart of Gran Canaria, overlooking a volcanic crater with the Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga rocks at its centre. Cruz de Tejeda is the island's crossroads and the start of the walking trails.
What to see
The Cruz de Tejeda viewpoint · Roque Bentayga and its interpretation centre · traditional almond sweets · the Abraham Cárdenas museum · the view of Roque Nublo
Easy to reach, needs a car
Winding mountain roads, and the village is slightly steep. Parking at the viewpoint.
