Tejeda

Unamuno called the landscape around Tejeda a 'petrified storm': a vast volcanic caldera in the heart of Gran Canaria, cut by steep ravines. The village sits at 1,050 metres beneath two great rocks, Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, the latter once a granary-fortress and one of the last places to resist the island's conquest. In the village are four small museums and a sweet shop known for almond pastries.

Highlights

• Roque Nublo, the basalt monolith that is a symbol of the island
• Roque Bentayga, with its almogarén ritual site and archaeological centre
• Cuevas del Rey, an ancient cave village with granaries
• Museums of modern art, ethnology, medicinal plants and farming
