Museo Néstor</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">In the Museo Néstor, named after the local artist Néstor de la Torre, you can see his portraits and most important works. It is located in the Pueblo Canario, in the capital of Gran Canaria.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-2xl m-0 mb-3">2. Casa de Colón</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">The Casa de Colón, located in the Vegueta district of the historic quarter of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, is the best option for discovering the island's relationship with the American continent and what oceanic voyages were like.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-2xl m-0 mb-3">3. CAAM</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">Nearby, the Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno (CAAM or Atlantic Centre of Modern Art) is the archipelago's leading contemporary art museum. Highly recommended for those looking for a different kind of museum.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-2xl m-0 mb-3">4. Museo Canario</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">What were the ancient Canarians like and how did they live?

Its large collection of aboriginal mummies will leave you speechless.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-2xl m-0 mb-3">5. Museo Elder</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">The Elder Museum of Science and Technology has one rule that everyone who enters the museum must obey: it is strictly forbidden not to touch.

If you are looking for a quieter atmosphere, skip the clubs and check out the numerous stylish bars, cafés and casinos throughout the cities on the island.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h2 class="text-3xl m-0 mb-3">What to see in Gran Canaria</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">On an island that offers as much to the visitor as Gran Canaria, you should not miss the most attractive places on the island:</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-2xl m-0 mb-3">1. Maspalomas Dunes</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">Located on the south coast of the island, the dunes of Maspalomas were formed from ocean sand during the Ice Age and are now a nature reserve.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-2xl m-0 mb-3">2. Roque Nublo</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">The Roque Nublo, located in Tejeda and 67 metres high, was formed by a volcanic eruption millions of years ago and was used by the ancient Canarians for rituals.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-2xl m-0 mb-3">3.

Vegueta</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">With its narrow cobbled streets, this old part of Las Palmas transports visitors back to the 15th century, with beautiful buildings, galleries and museums steeped in history.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-2xl m-0 mb-3">5. Puerto de Mogán</h3><p style="text-align:justify;">The canals that link the marina with the fishing port gave the town its name of Little Venice.

Undoubtedly, when talking about the Jacobean itinerary, one usually thinks (and rightly so) of the route that leads to the Galician capital.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">However, even if it is not via the classic French Way, the Northern Way, the Portuguese Way or the Silver Way, it is possible to follow the Way of St. James from Maspalomas to Gáldar along dirt tracks, roads, <a href="https://villagrancanaria.com/blog/royal-paths-gran-canaria/"><strong>royal paths</strong></a> and more.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Unlike the traditional Way of St. James, this route through Gran Canaria has no official markings or signs, so it is recommended to use a GPS device that works without an internet connection.</p><h3 class="text-2xl m-0 mb-3">Stage 1: Maspalomas ➡️ Tunte (28 km)</h3><figure class="image w-full max-w-full flex flex-wrap justify-center mx-auto"><img class="w-full" src="https://villagrancanaria.com/cms/uploads/Etapa_1_2.png"></figure><p style="text-align:justify;">Although this first stage does not correspond to the Jacobean route of Gran Canaria, it is undoubtedly a great excuse to relive the legend of those heroes from the sea who crossed the island from the south to the highest point of the island.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">It is a long uphill hiking route that starts in Maspalomas and climbs through the Fataga ravine, passing through the village of Arteara, the town of Fataga and ends in Tunte after 28 kilometres of walking.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">The Way of Saint James in Gran Canaria starts at the Maspalomas lighthouse (the southernmost point of Gran Canaria) and heads north. We turn right at the first roundabout and we turn left when we reach the Maspalomas pond.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">We will always follow the hiking route up the Maspalomas ravine, passing the Tony Gallardo Park, the Holidayworld Maspalomas entertainment centre and linking up with the Fataga ravine.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">The long ascent of 17 kilometres will take us to the village of Arteara, where we will be able to contemplate the Arteara Palm Grove.

Perhaps this statement is not entirely accepted by coffee lovers, who see it as a stimulating drink and very beneficial to health. If you like coffee and everything related to it, you should know that the Canary Islands coffee is one of the best in the world.<br><br>Indeed, Agaete coffee from the northwestern part of the island of Gran Canaria has always been characterized by a very important fishing and agricultural activity. It is also characterized by its tourist activity always linked to Puerto de las Nieves and the <a href="https://villagrancanaria.com/dedo-de-dios-in-gran-canaria/"><strong>Dedo de Dios</strong></a>.<br><br>However, Agaete hides its best kept secret in its Valley thanks to ideal climatic conditions that few places in the Canary Islands have. Here the best Canarian coffee is produced every year for, mainly, local, regional and national consumption. Keep reading to discover all about one of the best coffees in the world.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2 class="text-2xl">Where is the best Canary Islands coffee made?</h2><p><br>The Canary Islands are not known for being a land where coffee crops are abundant. In fact, it is not a land suited to this type of crops. It has always been a place where livestock, agriculture and fishing have played a basic role within the primary sector.<br><br>In spite of this, in this environment where other crops predominate, the only place where the best coffee from the Canary Islands, Spain and Europe is produced is the Agaete Valley.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2 class="text-2xl">What is the Agaete coffee?</h2><p><br>Gran Canaria coffee is grown in the wonderful surroundings of the Agaete Valley. The coffee grown in Agaete is of the Arabica Typica variety, one of the oldest and which is practically in disuse in a large part of Europe. This detail has not been an obstacle to recover this type of coffee and its production with great success.<br><br>We are dealing with a natural coffee that has not been previously washed, as this way it maintains its authenticity intact. Thus, this coffee from the Agaete Valley in the mouth is light, very aromatic and complex, with certain acidic nuances and a very characteristic bitter aftertaste, with certain touches of chocolate, liquorice and fruit.<br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image m-1 w-full max-w-full flex flex-wrap justify-center mx-auto"><img class="border my-3" src="https://villagrancanaria.com/cms/uploads/Agaete_Coffee_1024x683_1.jpg"></figure><p><br><br>&nbsp;</p><h2 class="text-2xl">History of the Agaete coffee</h2><p><br>The history of coffee in the Agaete Valley is the history of the introduction of coffee in the Canary Islands. Recent studies assure that the introduction of Canary Islands coffee was through the island of Tenerife in the year 1788, when some plants and seeds were brought from America and Asia.<br><br>In this way, the first shipment of seeds and exotic plants arrived at the Jardín de Aclimatación de La Orotava. It was not until the end of the 19th century that the first seeds of coffee arrived to the island of Gran Canaria. During the 30s and 40s of the 20th century, coffee production began to decrease until it completely disappeared, except in Agaete, which continued to be cultivated.<br><br>However, we cannot forget that harvesting the coffee, picking, starting to shell and hull it, all handmade, is a very expensive job. Coffee in Agaete has been surviving over the years, overcoming all these obstacles and becoming a coffee reference worldwide, receiving the visit of curious and coffee lovers, both national and foreign.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2 class="text-2xl">Where can Agaete coffee be bought?</h2><p><br>Coffee from Agaete is a product that cannot be found everywhere. It is a rather special type of coffee, which does not have an annual harvest. In fact, just a few kilos are produced each year, which makes it a scarce product that few shops have. However, there are some establishments on the island where you can buy this Canarian coffee.<br>&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-xl">Finca La Laja in Agaete</h3><p><br>Also known as the Finca de los Berrazales, this is the epicenter where Agaete coffee can be acquired. It is located in a wonderful enclave of the Valley, where can be obtained in its purest form, whether in coffee beans or ground coffee.<br>&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-xl">El Corte Inglés</h3><p><br>You can also buy the Canary Islands coffee from Agaete at El Corte Inglés (the biggest department store group in Europe) in the Gourmet section. You should know that, sometimes, they do not have much stock, so it is advisable to make an order through their website, either to pick it up at the store or to received it at home.<br>&nbsp;</p><h3 class="text-xl">Specialised shops</h3><p><br>Another place where you can find local coffee is in the different specialised stores that are scattered throughout the island. In the same village of Agaete there are shops like Kactu's or the Cafetería El Valle, where they sell it and you can also taste it.

Here, apart from making wine, the coffee is also harvested, picked and roasted.<br><br>The most interesting thing is that you can visit the plantations to see with your own eyes how it is harvested and how the process of picking is. In addition, at the end of your visit you can access a coffee tasting in their facilities and also buy it on site.<br><br>In short, Canary Islands coffee from Agaete has earned itself to be one of the best coffees in the world, both for its taste, aroma or body, but also for everything that surrounds it.</p>" ["titulo_de_pagina"]=> string(64) "▷ Canary Islands Coffee【 GUIDE 2024 】 | Villa Gran Canaria" ["metatag_descripcion"]=> string(156) "Discover here ⬆️ Canary Islands coffee from Agaete, the only coffee produced in Europe, specifically on the island of Gran Canaria. ✅ Learn more here."
