Tejeda

Gran Canaria

Tejeda

Tejeda is one of those villages that seem frozen in time, perched among Gran Canaria's highest peaks at over 1,000 metres above sea level. Its dramatic volcanic caldera, the iconic silhouette of Roque Nublo and the spectacular almond blossom every January make it a truly singular destination in the Canary Islands. Here there are no crowded beaches — just ancient footpaths, the sweet taste of bienmesabe and the deep silence of stone-paved streets. If you're searching for the authentic Gran Canaria, far from the coast, Tejeda is your answer.
