Spend an afternoon in Tejeda
Tejeda, Spain
Tejeda sits within Gran Canaria’s dramatic volcanic interior, where village streets open onto views of ridges and deep valleys. Take a slow walk through the centre, stop at a café and try the almond-based sweets associated with the area. It makes a rewarding destination in its own right or a pause during a mountain outing. Allow extra time for winding roads and bring a layer for cooler conditions at altitude.
