Agaete

The fishing village of Agaete is one of the most beautiful places in the northwest of Gran Canaria. Opened to the Atlantic Ocean, it offers its visitor a contrast of landscapes where the sea and its green valleys, which get to the centre of the island, make this municipality have one of the most beautiful countryside in the island. It also offers an excellent climate and nicely warm temperatures.

Agaete also has green areas of special relevance: El Huerto de las Flores and Tamadaba Natural Park. The former is a botanic garden situated in the municipal town and contains a great variety of exotic plant species.

From the Valley of Agaete, outstanding for its singular beauty and its tropical fruit and orange orchards, together with its coffee plantations, one can view the striking mountain range of Tamadaba with its thick pine forests. Apart from the great beauty of the Valle de Agaete, one can enjoy the traditional constructions which are used for rural tourism in the area, promoting the practise of trekking in the municipality.
