About Gran Canaria’s interior and Cruz de Tejeda
Although it’s renowned for sun and sand, Gran Canaria offers great walking opportunities. Follow well-signed trails in its UNESCO biosphere reserve and explore the pre-Hispanic sacred rocks of Bentayga and Roque Nublo. And after a hard day’s hiking, there’s the reward of wonderful gastronomy and spectacular breathtaking views.
The crossroads at Cruz de Tejeda are where the principal roads of the interior meet. It also marks the point where the trade winds hit the top of the island so there’s a noticeable change in climate zones -from sunny Tejeda to the cooler, cloudier and wetter conditions that prevail around Vega de San Mateo. This is the mountainous heart, at an altitude of 1580m, and makes a good start for multiple hiking routes around the island.
