Discover the true essence of Gran Canaria with our exclusive tour, designed especially for cruise passengers and visitors staying in Las Palmas. In small groups of a maximum of 20 people, we offer an enriching experience, ideal for exploring the island in a single day without rushing or stress.

Our first stop is the impressive Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, an architectural gem located next to Las Canteras Beach. This iconic building, inspired by a lighthouse guarding the Atlantic, pays homage to the famous Canarian tenor and has become one of the island's most emblematic cultural venues. During the 15-minute stop, you will have the opportunity to capture spectacular views of Las Canteras and the ocean, ideal for your travel memories.

From the auditorium, we head towards Arucas, a town full of historical charm that will captivate you. Famous for its Church of San Juan Bautista, a magnificent neo-Gothic temple built in local volcanic stone, Arucas offers a picturesque and welcoming atmosphere. Here, our guide will take you through its cobbled streets, dotted with historic buildings, where you can feel the essence of Canarian architecture. You will also have free time to explore the town at your own pace, stroll through its gardens, visit craft shops and taste some typical local sweets. Did you know that one of the best rums in the islands is produced here?

After Arucas, the excursion continues to Firgas, also known as the Villa del Agua, for its captivating fountains and artificial waterfalls. For half an hour, you can stroll along the Paseo de Canarias, a picturesque pedestrian street adorned with mosaics and reliefs representing all the islands of the archipelago.It is the perfect place for a quiet break and to take unique photos in this little corner full of charm and tradition.

Our last stop takes us to Teror, a place that will take you back in time with its colourful wooden balconies and charming cobbled streets.Teror is home to the Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Pino, patron saint of Gran Canaria, an important centre of devotion and spirituality for the island's inhabitants.Here you'll enjoy a guided tour that will immerse you in local history and tradition, and then you'll have free time to explore on your own. 
Take the opportunity to browse the artisan market, where you can buy typical products such as sausages and handmade sweets, or simply relax in a café in the square while you observe the leisurely pace of Canarian life.
