Barranco de Fataga
Fataga
Known as the 'Valley of a Thousand Palms', where palm oases and small white villages are scattered between reddish-brown cliffs.
The Fataga Ravine links the southern beach area with the central mountains. The GC-60 road winds up along the ravine, and viewpoints along the way overlook layered cliffs and palm groves. In the village of Fataga, the whitewashed houses are neat, and there is a small restaurant and an Arabian-style camel farm. Continuing north you reach San Bartolomé de Tirajana (Tunte) and Tejeda. It is the most common self-drive route from the beach area into the mountains.
