Nearby places such as Artenara, Cazadores, Cruz de Tejeda, Fataga, La Corte and Casas de Veneguera give you plenty of options for short trips in the surroundings. This is a great location for anyone who wants to discover the quieter, more traditional side of Gran Canaria rather than staying by the sea.
