Excursion Azuaje valley discovery tour at Las Palmas
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Undoubtedly, this route is one of the most surprising to the visitor who comes to Gran Canaria, because what is least imagined is that here there are areas of forest with ravines that carry water throughout the year. Start your day by visiting the historical center of Firgas: "La Villa del Agua". Learn about the importance of the Acequia Real and see sections of it perfectly preserved; visit its restored and working water mill to discover the importance of one of the key elements in the Canarian gastronomy. Afterwards, proceed to the Barranco de Azuaje and walk through a redoubt of what was once called the "Selva de Doramas", an authentic forest of Laurisilva that came to cover almost the entire northern area of Gran Canaria until only about 500 years ago. Enjoy Canary Tapas in this relaxing paradise before your drive back to the pier.
