Gran Canaria - south of the island

From Maspalomas, we quickly move along the GC-1 motorway to the beautiful port town of Puerto Mogán. Parking, like almost everywhere in Gran Canaria, is a problem.

The city attracts not only with its port full of yachts, but also with narrow streets with many cafes, shops and floral decorations.

From Puerto de Mogán we leave inland on the GC-200 road. Just before the village of Mogán is a beautiful windmill.

Before a sharp left turn, we turn past the village of Mogán onto a narrow asphalt road and begin to climb the mountains.

We are at the highest point of our journey today. Small car traffic with an attractive road leading through a beautiful landscape also attracts many cyclists.

There are several reservoirs inland

We descend to the town of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and after a while of searching we find a local winery.

Inside the winery we are welcomed by a large tasting room with lots of beautiful wines: negrammol, listan negro, babosa, tintila, malvasia, …

We continue south and stop in a small village full of narrow streets, Fataga.

The GC-60 road takes us further to the flowering aloe vera field.

Before the final descent to the coast, we stop at a lookout point, from which there is a beautiful view both inland and to the south of the island.

The sand dunes of Maspalomas are also well visible from the vantage point.

We return to civilization from beautiful nature.
