Fataga and Arteara
Fataga and Arteara
Off the beaten path, the neighboring villages of Fataga and Arteara people the rim of the Faraga gorge running through Gran Canaria’s interior volcanic highlands. They are, to put it simply, the polar opposites of the coastal tourist resorts just under 30 km (18.7 miles) to the south. Surrounded by strands of swaying palm trees and the layered silhouettes of green hills, each becoming more faint in the distance, Fataga and Arteara make perfect bases for hikes into the dense surroundings, which could include a visit to the nearby remains of the Guanche Necropolis a short distance south of Areteara.
