Cueva Pintada (which is the Spanish expression for Painted Cave) was discovered in 1873 by Jose Ramos Orihuela, who named it this way due to the paintings on the cave walls. The cave was opened to the public between 1972 and 1982, but since the paintings soon started to decay, the access of visitors was forbidden.
In return, the museum where the items discovered during the archeological excavations are sheltered offers visitors the opportunity to see 3D films featuring the entire history of the island of Gran Canaria.
The Viera y Clavijo Botanical Garden is the largest botanical garden in the entire Spain. It is located in Las Palmas, the capital city of Gran Canaria.
As expected, in order to get from Gran Canaria to La Palma tourists can resort to boat trips and flights. Such trips are always solidly motivated.
The Mother Church of San Juan Bautista is often referred to by the locals as the cathedral of Arucas, despite the fact it does not enjoy this statute.
