In the Montaña de Tauro pass you come across the Barranco de Mogán which is known as the orchard of Gran Canaria due to the amount of vegetables grown in the area. The landscape contrasts with other valleys in the area with less green.

Don't forget the camera!

Barranco de Mogán is, so to speak, the orchard of Gran Canaria. Here grow eggplant and bananas, mangos, papayas, lemons and cut flowers, sometimes in huge greenhouses along the slopes. The valley is considered one of the most charming of the whole island.
