Gran Canaria is known as a miniature continent. And as soon as you travel inland on this private tour, you’ll discover just why. Journey through mountainous landscapes and savour a local lunch in Bascamao. There are also stops in Artenara and a wine cellar. Esteban, one of our local guides, says, ‘It’s high after high on this tour, starting with lunch at a cave restaurant with views and then going to the island’s highest village. At over 1,200m above sea level, Artenara finds itself nestled on a ridge surrounded by jagged peaks.’
Heading north via the Mogan Valley, snake your way through gorges and gaps towards the very centre of the island. The views along the way are camera-grabbingly good, so there’ll be an occasional pit stop to take some pics. Lunch in a family-owned ‘cave restaurant’ in the remote hamlet of Bascamao is next. Savour dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, with a side of views over the surrounding countryside and the ocean. What’s more, with this visit, you contribute to the local community and economy.
Afterwards, head to the highest town on the island, Artenara. Explore on foot this tiny village clustered around a whitewashed church or stick your head into the famed cave dwellings museum. Next, you’ll head to the Presas viewpoint, among others, for views of alpine landscapes and the northern coastline. Round off the day with a Bandama crater photo stop, stopping en route by a family-run wine cellar to sample its volcanic earth wines.
