Tejeda
A white village in the mountainous center of the island, named one of Spain's most beautiful villages, facing the Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga rock pillars.
Tejeda sits on the rim of the Tejeda crater, with white-walled houses stacked up the hillside. From the village you can see both Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga. The village is known for its almond sweets, and each January and February the almond blossom festival is held when the trees bloom. Nearby Cruz de Tejeda is a mountain transport hub and viewpoint with restaurants and donkey riding experiences. The drive from Las Palmas takes about an hour along winding mountain roads.
