The view of the rocks of Roque Nublo, Bentayga and the Fraile in the broad sweep of mountains and valleys seen from the terrace of the Parador of Tejeda is breathtaking, whatever the season. Up at about 5000 feet the weather is usually quite pleasant and you can generally see the outline of the Teide mountain in Tenerife floating on... More

I think everyones said what needs to be said. Awe inspiring and breath taking views. Can be a bit hair raising if, like me, heights aint your thing but definitely worth a look. It dominates the island an its just breathtaking. I pity the people who go to gran canaria just to stay in the resorts, they dont know what... More

If you go to Gran Canaria its a must place to visit. The scenery is breath taking and the views are superb. The rock is around 1700 metres above sea level and you have to walk around 3k to get the the rock its self but its worth it. Not for the faint hearted as the trek can leave you... More

Walking distance from the parking is about 2 km. It is not very difficult to make it without any special equipment, though comfortable shoes is highly recomended. Allocate about 2 hours, to go without hurry. Rock is about 1750 m above sea level. On our visit it was windy and it was only 15C. So some warm clothes can be... More

Gran Canaria is filled with shopping and expensive tacky 'attractions'. Which is a shame considering that the island is it's own best attraction. The beaches are incredible but driving through the island is the most magnificent experience we had. The centre of the island is Roque Nublo. The road up to it is not for the faint of heart so...

Superb views in this whole area, but some very tedious roads to drive down too. Not recommended for very nervous passengers, but seriously nice. More
