Itinerary

Molino de Viento

We will make a photo stop at the “Molino de Viento”. It is a windmill, located a few kilometers from Mogan. Oral tradition has it that it was a shepherd from La Aldea who set it on fire in retaliation against the municipal power. From then on it was known as Moulin Brûlé. It was restored in 1998. Its 7 meter tower makes it the largest windmill in Gran Canaria.

Los Azulejos de Veneguera

We will stop to admire the “Azulejos de Veneguera”, a natural monument formed by a complex process of solidification of the fluids expelled by the Tejeda volcano and which the erosion of thousands of years has left exposed. A mountain as if we colored it with brushstrokes. Erosion revealed a series of geological layers, minerals tinted with reddish, ocher, green and blue tones. Locals gave the name “Los Azulejos de Veneguera” because of their resemblance to the brightly colored tiled walls of San Nicolas de Tolentino.

Playa de la Aldea

In Puerto de la Aldea we will find the only easily accessible beach on this entire coast. We will walk around the port then head towards “El Charco”. It is a small natural lake located on the beach of La Aldea, made up of sea water. The festivities of El Charco, in the village of San Nicolás, are one of the most famous and popular events in Canary Islands. Every September 11, in the town's "lake", hundreds of people gather to fish with their own hands for the fish that live in this coastal lagoon. This festival is considered an Asset of Cultural Interest and is based on a pre-Hispanic tradition. After a long drive along the rocky abysses with a stop to take photos of the wild coast, we will arrive at our next stop “The Puerto de Las Nieves”.
