Gran Canaria is the third largest island in the Canary Islands, and has the largest population. It's often described as a 'continent in miniature' because it has so much variety to offer.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in the North East of the island, is one of Spain's largest cities and the second-largest port in Europe.

The island of Las Palmas has a beautiful climate and many fine sandy beaches. You will also find extraordinary historic buildings and it is a wonderful setting for water sports.

Cruz de Tejeda, is located in the center of the island, 9 kilometers from the town of Tejeda, near Roques Nublo and Bentayga and is 34 kms from Las Palmas. The Parador is 45 kms from the tourist beaches at Playa del Ingles.

Local festivities include the Almond Blossom festival in the first 2 weeks of February, the Virgin of Soco Tejeda in the second week of September and Carnival in February.

Interesting places to visit while staing at the Parador of Cruz de Tejeda include the Abraham Cardenes Sculpture museum, the Anthropology museum, the medicinal plant centre and, of course, the El Nublo Nature Reserve which is adjacent to the Parador.

Pets are not allowed in the luxury hotels in the Spanish Paradores group.
