Arucas, Gran Canaria
Arucas is separated from the capital by the ravine of "Tenoya".
After Las Palmas, it is the most populated municipality of the northern
part of the island. While visiting Arucas we can see large terrain
extensions used to cultivate bananas, which is part of the agricultutal
past of Arucas.
It is also a town of stone craftsmen, who's work can be admired while
going through the streets of the older part of the town, but primarily
by visiting the church of "San Juan Bautista".
The "Montaña de Arucas" is an observation point on the mountain of Arucas
and one of the most beautiful places to visit in this town. From there
you have views from the "Isleta" in Las Palmas to the "Montaña de Galdar",
the mountain in which the town of Galdar is built on. From there you can
also see the top of the island. |
