Product code: 3042LPA31
After pick-up from your hotel, you will be transferred to the north of the island, where you will be visiting the "Cueva Pintada" (only cave on the islands with pictures made by the previous inhabitants of the islands, the Guanches).
Here you will visit a multimedia museum which will take you on a journey back to the old days when Gran Canaria had not been conquered yet.
The Guanches dominated the large central islands of Tenerife, La Palma, and Gran Canaria. They lived in cave dwellings, which they enlarged into spacious, multilevel residences with wooden floors and partitioned rooms. Many of them are still in use today, the oldest continuously occupied dwellings in the world. A primitive agricultural people who used stone tools, the Guanches were well suited to their environment. To communicate over the rocky, mountainous regions of their isles, they developed a whistling language that could be heard, according to European accounts, at a distance of 4 miles (6.5km).
After this visit, you will be transferred to a comfortable and traditional restaurant by the sea, where you will have lunch (two starters, main dish and dessert). Visit the Cenobrio de Valeron before returning to your hotel.
