Gran Canaria is a volcanic island in Spain’s Canary Islands, a landscape shaped by ancient lava flows and rugged canyons. Handmade Tours offers a distinctive way to engage with this unique environment through their "Let's get high! wine & tapas" day trip. This seven-hour journey invites visitors to traverse scenic canyons around Santa Lucía Village, a spot known for its groves of palms and olive trees. The terrain here is marked by striking volcanic canyons—deep grooves carved by time, providing a dramatic backdrop for the day's experience.
The tour begins with a hotel pickup, ensuring a hassle-free start before heading inland to Santa Lucía. Visitors pause for a coffee break amid the village’s natural surroundings before entering a landscape characterized by the island’s rich geological history and native flora. The itinerary blends cultural and natural highlights expertly: walking through aboriginal sites gives a glimpse into the island’s indigenous past, while visits to vineyards showcase Gran Canaria's surprising viticulture.
A highlight is the wine tasting session held at a local winery perched high above the island’s second-largest volcanic crater. Here, Handmade Tours pairs regional wines with carefully selected local delicacies—an ideal pairing that marries the flavors of the land with its soils and climate. Lunch takes place in an atmospheric cave restaurant near Agüimes, a town equally notable for its volcanic terrain and charming old quarter.
What sets Handmade Tours apart in Gran Canaria’s outdoor offerings is their seamless blend of light trekking with culinary discovery and cultural immersion. Their attention to small-group comfort and authentic local touch makes this more than just a tour—it’s a chance to connect deeply with Gran Canaria’s lesser-known inland landscapes. Whether you’re a wine lover, a geology enthusiast, or simply eager to wander beyond the coast, this journey delivers sweeping views, rich tastes, and a fuller picture of this island’s character.
