Moya

Moya

Moya is one of those quiet northern Gran Canaria towns where time slows down among ancient laurel trees and breathtaking ravines. Known as the birthplace of the beloved Canarian poet Tomás Morales, this municipality blends literary heritage with UNESCO-listed laurisilva forests. The iconic church of Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria clings dramatically to the edge of a ravine, creating one of the island's most unforgettable images. Moya is where authentic Canarian culture and wild nature meet.
