With a height of around 1500m, Cruz de Tejeda is the highest pass in Gran Canaria and also marks the geographical center of the island. Here, various rural roads meet from all directions.

Here is also a popular viewpoints of the island and especially on weekends it attracts a lot of excursionists here.

You do not go wrong when you bring a jacket, because just on the north side of the pass the trade wind blows steadily and often drives quite cool clouds up the mountain.

A restaurant with bar and a stall invite you to linger. There is delicious almond cake or the local specialty "Bienmasabe", a very fine tasting almond syrup.

Cruz de Tejeda

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Here mountain roads and many hiking trails cross: a tourist access point with fantastic views and lots of magic at the stands. The hotel with the pool area is great, from which you can look directly into the caldera.

Historic Center of Teror

Highlight • Settlement

Teror is beautiful but sometimes overcrowded - the tour buses stop here and the center is really small! You can tell by the shops, which are very much tailored to tourist needs. So if you want to buy souvenirs, you will find them, otherwise there are plenty of other beautiful villages nearby when Teror is too crowded.

GC-811 Scenic Road

Highlight • Cycleway

Black gold - absolutely the finest new asphalt, a pleasant slope and almost no cars (taking the shorter and steeper main road) make this bypass a dream. Again and again fantastic views of the valley complete this. I can only highly recommend!
