We visited Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on our March 2023 Norwegian Sun cruise. Another great tour organized by our cruise friend, Lisa. We did a private shore excursion "GRan CaNaRiA MAXXX No. 1 Tour!" with https://simontours.pl/en/tour-item/gr... . Highly recommended.

On this amazing tour, we passed through the interior of Gran Canaria where we visited many points of interest. On our Gran Canaria tour, we visited EL Bufadero de la Garita , Dunas de Maspalomas, Mirador Astronómico de la Degollada de las Yeguas, Fataga, Tunte, Pico de las Nieves, Roque Nublo, Mirador de Bercera, Valley of Tejeda, Teror and Old Town of Las Palmas.

Before reaching the mountains on our Gran Canaria tour, our local guide took us to viewpoint Degollada de las Yegua to see the remnants of former volcanic activity. We traveled through the Valley of 1000 Palms, hidden in the mountains. We then made a stop in Fataga and were mesmerised by the charm of this old town.

Tasting and experience on our Gran Canaria Tour
We had the opportunity to taste typical Canarian coffee. By noon we had reached the mountains passing through Tunte and stopping at mountain viewpoints. At the second half of the day we got to see the highest peak Morro de La Agujereada and Roque Nublo from the second highest peak of the island – Pozo de las Nieves. After that, we passed through valley of almonds trees – Tejeda, called the most beautiful place in Spain. We were also showed around Las Palmas (capital of Gran Canaria) and Teror which the most important church in Canary Islands is located.
