Aj\u00f3dar Mountain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Little historical information exists about the Monta\u00f1a de Aj\u00f3dar (or Galdar), which makes it even more mysterious. It is believed that it could have been a magical-religious element<\/strong> to which in ancient times he was worshiped<\/strong> and the cradle of different archaeological sites. From its top you can see an incredible sunset<\/strong> and see the large banana plantations in the north of the island.

The Port of Mogan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the south of Gran Canaria is the port of Mog\u00e1n, a cozy retreat with a small hidden beach<\/strong> making this a very peaceful place.

Vegeta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vegueta is the oldest neighborhood in the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria<\/strong>. For more than 500 years, Vegueta has been the founding neighborhood of the capital of the island of Gran Canaria. From pirates and cathedral builders to the discoverer Christopher Columbus have passed through its streets. Precisely since Columbus passed through Vegueta there has been a old tradition<\/strong> which forces, at least once, stop in the historic center<\/strong> of this Canarian neighborhood. From here you can see some sunsets full of history<\/strong> where colorful buildings, architecture and the sea intermingle with a sky worth contemplating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
