Una route through the interior of Gran Canaria must include Fataga, where you have one of the best samples of traditional canarian architecture on the island.

This is how I was able to confirm it during my most recent trip to Gran Canaria, where I enjoyed an excellent spa and wellness experience, and where I also had the opportunity to take a day trip to discover the most traditional side of the island.

Fataga It is a small village in the municipality of San Bartolomé, which is located in a palm valley at the foot of one of the characteristic ravines that characterize the interior of Gran Canaria.

Looking ahead to your visit, I tell you that Fataga It will be a short stage on your route, as it will be enough to take a walk through the narrow and steep streets of the village.

You will discover corners where the Canarian rural architecture, with houses with bright white facades.

These contrast with the color of the flowers and the green of the tropical vegetation that surrounds them.

It will be a quiet walk through a village that dates back to the 16th century, where you will rarely find tourists, or even barely any residents.
