A visit to the municipality of Cruz de Tejeda is a visit to the epicentre of the island of Gran Canaria. It is the perfect starting point for exploring the rich geological heritage of the area and all its tourist attractions. Do you fancy it? With our cheap trips to Cruz de Tejeda, if you want, you can.
The magnificent Nublo Rural Park is just one of the reasons to decide on Cruz de Tejeda. With its more than 64,000 acres, it is the largest natural area in all Gran Canaria. UNESCO granted it the title of Biosphere Reserve, and that is because its Canary Island pine forests and its thickets of desert plants deserve nothing less.
Prepare an excursion through the park and make sure the route leads you to the Roque Bentayga, one of the most unique geological formations of the whole island, the result of a volcanic eruption. Some locals consider it to be a sacred rock because it features an almogarén, a small plain where aborigines carried out their ritual and religious practices. Interesting, right?
Without a doubt, the holiday packages in Cruz de Tejeda will also attract museum lovers. Proof of this is the Museum of History and Traditions of Tejeda, where the history of the municipality is narrated in a modern and interactive way. The Centre for the Interpretation of Medicinal Plants will not disappoint anyone either. Located in an old school in the urban centre, it hosts very entertaining and informative exhibitions about the plants of the area and the medicinal uses that Gran Canaria inhabitants have given them for centuries.
To get to Cruz de Tejeda, you must fly to the Gran Canaria Airport, which receives the most passenger traffic in the Canary Islands. It is located about 25 miles from Cruz de Tejeda, a distance that you can comfortably travel by car. You can also take a bus to Las Palmas and, from there, another bus to your destination. Let nothing stop you from enjoying our trips to Cruz de Tejeda!
