We collect you straight from your hotel in the south. Please note the tour is guided in Polish.<\/p>\n<h2>What you see along the way<\/h2>\n<p>You start in <strong>Puerto Mog\u00e1n<\/strong>, known as the Canarian Venice. Canals, small bridges, colourful houses and flowers on every wall. It is the most photogenic place on the route and a good way to start the day slowly.<\/p>\n<p>The road then runs through the Tamadaba park to the <strong>Blue Rocks, the Azulejos de Veneguera<\/strong>. The slope here holds shades of gold, blue and pink that no photo really captures, which is why the stop is worth the time. Next comes the town of <strong>Aldea<\/strong> for a coffee with Tenerife on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>After that comes <strong>Mirador del Balc\u00f3n<\/strong>, a glass viewpoint suspended above the ocean, with cliffs dropping vertically below you. From there you cross the <strong>Agaete<\/strong> coffee region to the fishing village of <strong>Puerto de las Nieves<\/strong>, where a traditional lunch and local rum are waiting.<\/p>\n<p>The day finishes with two northern towns. <strong>Firgas<\/strong>, with its tiled fountains and benches, and <strong>Arucas<\/strong>, with a basilica that recalls the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia and a park to walk through. Along the way there are tastings of <strong>honey rum, churros and leche y leche coffee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Who this is for (and who it is not)<\/h2>\n<p>It suits travellers who want to see the coast, the mountains and the green north in a single day and taste something local on the way. There is a decent amount of free time for walks, photos and souvenirs.<\/p>\n<p>If you dislike time on a coach or struggle with winding roads, pick something shorter. Driving around the island means several hours on the road, broken up by stops.<\/p>\n<h2>Practical information<\/h2>\n<p>We collect you <strong>directly from your hotel<\/strong> in the south of the island, from Playa del Ingl\u00e9s, Maspalomas, Meloneras, San Agust\u00edn, Bah\u00eda Feliz, Puerto Rico, Arguinegu\u00edn, Playa de Amadores, Taurito and Puerto de Mog\u00e1n, <strong>between 8:00 and 8:45<\/strong> depending on your location.<\/p>\n<p>At booking you pay only the deposit: <strong>15 euros per adult and 5 euros per child<\/strong>. The remaining 60 euros per person is paid during the tour by card or in cash.<\/p>\n<p>Cancellation is free up to 72 hours before the start, with a 100% refund. If you are unsure whether this route or the drive across the middle of the island suits you better, message us and we will give you a straight answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A full loop around Gran Canaria with pickup from hotels in the south.
