아르테나라 주변 최고의 교통량 없는 자전거 라이딩 코스

Super nice view over the serpentines and the landscape.

If you're coming from Santa Maria de Gula de GC, this is a highly recommended descent. Definitely worth planning, as it's a side track and has excellent surface (March 2025)!

Many riders climbing 😃

There is a fairly large parking lot directly opposite the entrance to the botanical garden.

Here you will find a small "park" or rest area with seating - and a beautiful view of Agaete. There is a large public car park nearby

Beautiful and impressively situated lighthouse.

The museum is located in the historic center of the town of Gáldar. Its mission is to protect the historical sites there, to conduct scientific research and to communicate the findings to the general public. The institution is named after the Cueva Pintada (painted cave), which was probably created in the 7th century AD by the island's original inhabitants, the Canarios. This cave was forgotten and buried after the conquest of the Canary Islands in the 15th century. It was only rediscovered in the second half of the 19th century. Its cultural and historical significance was already recognized by foreign experts at that time. It was not until the 1970s that a detailed scientific study of the cave began. After the site was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1972, it was protected against environmental influences, which caused damage, among other things, from the irrigation of the surrounding fields. In 1982, access to the cave was closed to the public and in 1987 excavations began in the surrounding area. They revealed that the cave was not an isolated object, but part of a prehistoric settlement with more than 50 houses and other caves. To protect the site, construction began on a new type of museum. An area of 5700 m² was covered. Visitors now have the opportunity to walk through and view the archaeological site on footbridges. Reconstructed aboriginal dwellings were set up and exhibition, information and laboratory rooms were created. The new museum was opened in 2006. It displays objects found on site in separate exhibition rooms, such as pintaderas, statuettes, everyday objects and jewelry made of various materials.

The museum is more than just the painted cave. it is an archaeological park with real excavation sites where you can imagine what the oldest city in Gran Canaria looked like in indigenous times.
