Route to the Azuaje ravine in Firgas with tapas

If you are one of those who love to immerse yourself in the heart of nature to enjoy its surroundings with relaxation, our hiking route through the Azuaje ravinewill fascinate you. A 4-hour walk awaits us through this beautiful canyon belonging to the Azuaje Special Nature Reserve and you will be fascinated when you contemplate so much greenery concentrated in the small and remote Gran Canaria town of Firgas.

You will not need anything except the typical; comfortable clothes, mountain shoes, something to eat and drink, and a good camera or device to immortalize the most exotic spots of the Azuaje Special Nature Reserve. You can not worry about more things because to do hiking you do not need anything except a guide, a guide, that we will provide you to take you to know the most special places of this natural Eden.

A hiking route awaits us with a strong and marked contrast to what you can find on the island. While in general, volcanic and arid environments predominate on this island (which also have a particular beauty) in Firgas you will discover the opposite, a valley full of vegetation, leafy and overwhelming, completely green and with places filled with streams and small waterfalls. Pure fantasy.

Our hiking route is found as such within the Parque Rural de Doramas and we generally start it from the village of Firgas, which allows us to Get to know its interior by visiting points such as the Church of San Roque and the Acequia Real. We will gain altitude and this will allow us to clearly see places on the island such as La Isleta, the Bay of Las Palmas, the Arucas Mountains, the Costa de Lairaga and the Villas de Moya and Firgas (in its lowest part).

After that, we will go fully into the Azuaje ravine and here what we told you before awaits you, a nature so overwhelming that it gives the feeling of inserting ourselves into a Jurassic movie. Walking along its paths and among its vegetation, we will get to know other ravines that are part of the Azuaje Special Nature Reserve, such as the El Andén ravine, La Virgen, Las Madres, Guadalupe or San Andrés.

During our journey we will also visit an old spa of which now only ruins remain, but which is steeped in history because at the time it attracted countless travelers from all over the world for its pools and pools with waters with healing properties.

At the end of the route, we will replenish our energies savoring the spectacular cuisine of the area tasting delicious tapas in a local restaurant, where apart from supporting local businesses we can learn more about typical Canarian food.

As you can see, it is literally a dream hiking route and we doubt that there are places as special as the Azuaje ravine, whose surroundings we dare to describe with certainty as paradisiacal.
