ExploGC Top 5: The Ultimate Gran Canaria Experiences
Gran Canaria is a land of breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you're a foodie, an adventure seeker, or a culture lover, there’s something here for everyone.
Gran Canaria is known for sunshine, beaches, and vibrant tourism.
But beyond the resorts and postcard views, another island exists.
In this special ExploGC Top 5, we explore the most fascinating abandoned places in Gran Canaria — locations where history lingers in silence and nature slowly reclaims what humans once built.
These places are not just ruins.
They are chapters of the island’s past.
From forgotten hotels in the hills to empty shopping centers in the south… from agricultural estates that shaped the island’s economy to mysterious religious institutions overlooking Las Palmas — each location tells a powerful story of ambition, transformation, and decline.
This video is about more than urban exploration.
It’s about understanding Gran Canaria beyond the surface.
🌿 No. 5 – Los Berrazales Spa & Botelladora Agua de San Roque (Agaete Valley)
A historic spa complex famous for its mineral waters in the 19th and early 20th century. When the water flow declined, prosperity faded. Today, the ruins blend beautifully into the green valley landscape.
🏢 No. 4 – Centro Comercial Metro (Playa del Inglés)
A symbol of the tourism boom in the south. Once filled with shops, nightlife, and energy — now empty corridors reflect the evolution of Playa del Inglés and the fragility of commercial success.
🥉 No. 3 – Orfanato de las Monjas / Hotel Victoria (Tafira Alta)
A building with multiple identities — religious institution, orphanage, later hotel. Surrounded by mystery and silence, it represents shifting social structures and changing times.
🥈 No. 2 – Finca San Rafael (Telde)
A historic agricultural estate that reflects Gran Canaria’s pre-tourism era. Once sustained by farming, water systems, and rural life — today it stands as a monument to the island’s agricultural roots.
🥇 No. 1 – Hotel Los Frailes (Tafira)
A 19th-century manor turned hotel, later a nightlife venue, now one of the most iconic abandoned buildings on the island. Its collapsed ceilings and overgrown gardens tell a story of elegance, reinvention, and eventual silence.
At ExploGC, we don’t just show the beautiful side of Gran Canaria — we show the real layers of the island.
Every abandoned place was once new.
Every ruin once held dreams.
Every silent building once had life.
These locations reveal:
• The rise and transformation of tourism
• The island’s agricultural foundations
• Changing economic priorities
• Social and institutional evolution
• The contrast between luxury and decay
Gran Canaria has reinvented itself many times — and these places are evidence of that transformation.
We explore respectfully and responsibly.
We do not encourage trespassing or unsafe behavior. Many abandoned places are on private property and may be structurally dangerous. Always respect local laws and prioritize safety.
ExploGC – Explore Gran Canaria is about discovering the island from a different perspective. Beyond beaches and resorts. Beyond the obvious.
We document history, hidden places, forgotten corners, and contrasts that define this unique island.
