Tour Itinerary
We will begin the tour at 9:00 AM promptly heading south west to Mogan village
We will begin the tour at 9:00 AM promptly heading south west to Mogan village. Because we have so much to see today, we will not be visiting “Puerto de Mogan”, but instead pass by the small village of Mogan. We will stop for photos at the “Molino de Viento” also name “Molino Quemado” (burnt Mill). As you might have guessed from its name, it was burnt down but has been restored to its former beauty, working parts and all, thanks to the Mogán City Council and the local neighbourhood association.

This natural rock formation was formed 13 million years ago when the steak and gas from a volcano reacted with iron in the rock producing beautiful red, blue and green tones. Locals called it “los azulejos” because of their resemblance to the glazed tiles walls of San Nicolas de Tolentino. We then continue our route along the wild and rocky west coast.
In Puerto de la Aldea we will make...
In Puerto de la Aldea we will make a stop at the only easily accessible beach in the area to take pictures. Then, we will visit the large pond called "El Charco";. There, hordes of people celebrate the ever popular ”Fiesta del Charco” every September, and it is always a comforting stop off on our journey. When there are no fiestas on, the still waters reflect the calm and brightness of the municipality itself, and the deep roots of its history. A time long ago, early aboriginal dwellers set up a series of settlements here, some of which are said to date to before 500 years B.C. Beyond this point there is a long drive along the impressive cliffs where we can stop for photos on our way to Agaete.
It’s time to go now to the picturesque...
It’s time to go now to the picturesque fishing port of Puerto de las Nieves in Agaete. You will admire the blue and white houses on the natural pebble beach. This area of the island is much loved and visited by all the islanders. Its main tourist attraction is the fishing village of Puerto de Las Nieves, probably because it is one of the parts of the island that has maintained 100% of its essence. The Port of Las Nieves is in the coastal area of the municipality. In the Port of Las Nieves one can appreciate the Roque Partido (Broken Rock) or Dedo de Dios (God’s Finger), a symbol for the people of Gran Canarian.
Agaete also has some of the most popular...
Agaete also has some of the most popular natural pools and beaches of the northern part of the island. We will walk on its picturesque maritime walk and stop in the Natural pools (If you want to swim, don't forget your swimwear!).
The next stop is Arucas with its iconic...
The next stop is Arucas with its iconic neo-Gothic church “Inglesia de San Juan Bautista” constructed in 1909. We will see the Church (exterior), one of the most characteristic icons of Gran Canaria. This parish Church is named “San Juan Bautista”, though the locals usually call it by mistake the “Arucas Cathedral”. The reason why people commonly call this church a cathedral is because it is so large. It is majestic and grandiose and stands high above the rest of Arucas and, indeed, the surrounding area. In fact, you can see the main tower from well outside the town. This church is neogothic style and it was started to be built in 1909 and finished officially in 1977. They say that it was built by hand, with any type of mechanic or technologic help. It is completely sculpted with the centenary stone of Arucas. We will then drive along the capital, las Palmas, on our return to the south. We will arrive at 6:00 pm approximately.
