About the destination: Agaete is a Spanish municipality located northwest of the island of Gran Canaria with a special charm. Here we can spend a few days enjoying its incredible views while we visit its most emblematic places such as its historic center, where the Iglesia de la Concepción is located, or the Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de las Nieves and the Casa Fuerte, among others. Nor can you go without seeing the Huerto de las Flores and the nearby Tamadaba Natural Park; and without trying the varieties of good fish in the area.

About the destination: La Aldea de San Nicolás is the westernmost municipality of the island of Gran Canaria in the Las Palmas province of the Canary Islands. Its full name was, until 2005,[3] La Aldea de San Nicolás de Tolentino, and the locals simply call it La Aldea. Its population is 8,228 (2013), and the area is 123.58 km². Its elevation is about 33m. La Aldea de San Nicolás is located about 38 km southwest of the island capital Las Palmas. It is situated among forested mountain valleys overlooking the Atlantic, and most families work on the tomato-farms, as well as growing potatoes and other vegetables and fruits, irrigated by reservoirs that collect winter rain. Tourism is also a significant industry, though not as much as in the South of the island. San Nicolás is the birthplace of Román Rodríguez Rodríguez, President of the Canary Islands from 1999-2003.

About the destination: Maspalomas is a tourist town in the south of the island of Gran Canaria. The town of Maspalomas is formed by the pond of the same name, the dunes and the palm tree grove, all of them with a great ecological value. The district has a total of 29 beaches and coves, including the beaches of Inglés, Maspalomas and San Agustín, all of which hold the blue flag awarded by the European Union. The more up-market Maspalomas resort, with smart hotels, luxury residences and the largest golf course on the island, is separated from Playa del Inglés by a spectacular stretch of 400 hectares of dunes, which in 1994 were designated a national park. You can only cross the dunes on foot or by camel, which makes you believe you’re in a different part of the world altogether.
