Villages, viewpoints and volcanic rocks dot Gran Canaria's jagged spine. This tour weaves its way through some of the island's most dramatic landscapes, stopping along the way to visit gems such as Teror, Tejeda and Fataga. David, one of our local guides, says, ‘The legend of the apparition of the Virgin Mary in Teror still intrigues me. It was in 1481, amid the Castilian conquest of Gran Canaria, and it helped change the island's destiny.'

And Teror is where your adventure begins. Strolling past the balconied townhouses of Calle Real de la Plaza towards the mountain-framed basilica of Our Lady of the Pine is one of the defining Gran Canaria experiences. A scenic mountain drive away is Tejeda, which is a bit of a looker itself – red-roofed, whitewashed houses sprinkled on the slope of a valley. David adds, ‘Every time there's a list of Spain's prettiest villages, Tejeda is near the top. Its setting is unbeatable.'

There's also a pit stop at Las Tirajanas viewpoint to admire a vast volcanic caldera, as we make our way to Fataga to eat. A lunch made from locally sourced ingredients will be served in a family-owned restaurant. After a little amble through the town, we'll visit a nearby aloe vera plantation to get the lowdown on its medicinal properties. Generations of islanders have used extracts from the plant for skin burns.

In my opinion the first stop was to short 30min only it should have been around 2 hours. The whole experience was only driving around and stopping for 30min. This stops are more likely for cigarettes break for the driver really ?? on the second stop 60% off people waited in the van. So in opinion very badly organised. I don't think you will get repeated customer for this kind of trips. Lulzim Veliu.

Liian pitkä aika istua ja bussissa ja hiukan pelätä että tippuuko rotkoon. Lämmin ruoka ei ollut onnistunut . Kylissä ei uskaltanut lähteä kauas ettei eksy, parempi olisi jos opas olisi kierrättänyt ja esitellyt nähtävyydet jos niitä oli. Mutta maisemat olivat mahtavat.

Hienot maisemat. Kierto nopealla tempolla. Vähän päänsärkyä mutkaisesta tietä yhteenmenoon. Pysähdyksiä ja fiilistelyjä olisi voinut olla enemmän. Ruokailu olisi voinut olla kauniissa näköalapaikassa. Kaikenkaikkiaan mukiinmenevä nopea kiertomatka jossa näki paljon saaren sisäosista. Kiski vaikutti pätevältä. Opas ihan ok. Toki vähän enemmän olisi voinut tietää tuntea Kanariaa.

We were disappointed with the lunchtime meal. I have experienced much better on similar outings in Spain. Several of the guides jokes were outdated and misogynistic. It was a shame that it rained very heavily. I suppose the free time in the towns might have been better supported with maps showing points of interest.

Det blir väldigt mycket bilåkande, och vid full bil så gäller det att få "fönsterplats" för att hinna se något av vyerna.

I cant leave a review on the trip because we could not go because my partner became very ill the night before with suspected food poisoning . Let the tui rep know straight away on the morning we were due to go .In future it may be a good idea to pay a small extra charge as an insurance to cover you so you can have a full refund . We lost all the money for the excursion and will definately think twice before booking any trips again with tui.
