Secrets of the North on a 100% private tour: Tufia, Arucas, Firgas, and Agaete

Our first stop will be Tufia, a place that is among the 10 most beautiful beaches on the island, thanks to its protected environment, crystal-clear waters, and authentic atmosphere. Tufia has maintained its local character, far from mass tourism. The houses are white, with touches of blue and navy. There are also several cave dwellings, typical of the Canary Islands. We will take a walk through the village.

Journey to Arucas to see the Church of San Juan Bautista. We will visit the exterior of this parish church, built in 1909. Then we will stroll through the historic center of Arucas (Constitution Square and its traditional 17th-century houses). Finally, we will end with a walk through the municipal garden of Arucas, a true haven of peace in the heart of the city. This garden is home to a great diversity of exotic trees.

We will then head to Firgas, nicknamed the "Atlantic balcony" because of its breathtaking view of the north coast of Gran Canaria. It is now time for a lunch break (optional, meal not included in the day trip price). Firgas is renowned as one of the best places on the island for growing watercress. We will have lunch at a local restaurant specializing in this iconic plant, where the menu is entirely dedicated to watercress: watercress soup, watercress salad, watercress cheese, watercress bread, watercress croquettes. An original and local culinary experience in a typical Canarian setting.

After lunch, visit the Paseo de Gran Canaria, also known as the "waterfall street", bordered by a 30-meter artificial waterfall and featuring, on one side, the 21 heraldic coats of arms representing all the municipalities of Gran Canaria, as well as the island's coat of arms. Then visit the Paseo de Canarias, which pays tribute to the seven islands of the archipelago, with their coats of arms and sculpted representations of their characteristic landscapes. We will pass by Plaza de San Roque. From this vantage point, you can admire one of the most beautiful views of the north of Gran Canaria. In this square is the church of San Roque, built in the 18th century.

Travel to Agaete. In its picturesque fishing harbor, you will admire the blue and white houses lining a natural pebble beach. This fishing village has managed to preserve all its authenticity over the years. Here you can see the remains of the famous Roque Partido, also known as the "Finger of God," a rock formation considered a natural symbol of Gran Canaria. We will stop at the famous natural pools carved out of the volcanic rock and protected from the waves by natural formations. An ideal place to relax, take photos, or swim in a local and unspoiled atmosphere. (Don't forget your bathing suit if you want to swim.)

End of the day trip at 6:00 PM/6:30 PM in the south of Gran Canaria.
