Fataga is a typical Canarian village situated on the road GC-60 from Maspalomas to Tejeda. It is worth stopping here for a moment to stroll through a maze of narrow streets. Fataga is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Plaza de Santa Ana (Plaza Mayor of Santa Ana) - Vequeta in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The bronze dogs statues guarding the square and the cathedral. Why dogs? Dogs are the symbol of the Canary Islands - even the name of the islands comes from the Latin word canis - a dog.

Houses on the hill in Las Palmas

Houses on the hill in Las Palmas

Gran Canaria surprised us with color - after Lanzarote, where almost all the buildings were white, is a big change. These colors enliven the cities.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Coast in Las Palmas. There is a nice restaurant Amigo Camilo on the rocks. They serve a very good fresh fish - speaks only Spanish and no menu - but we were able to order food using the universal language of hands :-)

Caleta de Arriba

Caleta de Arriba

To this amazing village on the rocky north coast of Gran Canaria, the road leads through a maze of banana plantations. This is a very interesting route - the road is surrounded by a high wall and you often have to stop before the intersection to look around the corner. I recommend getting to Caleta de Arriba from the side of Gáldar.

Puerto Rico - a small tourist town in the valley with a beautiful sandy beach. But for me a little too much hotels and tourists.

Carrizal de Tejeda

Carrizal de Tejeda

Small, typically Canarian village on a mountain slope - a beautiful place to watch the sunset. Photo made during a ride road GC-606 - only 12 km away and drove over an hour. This is probably the most hellish road I was driving - should be called GC-666 :-) You can see this way to the spherical image.
