Your full day excursion begins as soon as you board your air-conditioned moto coach at the pier and travel the short distance to your first destination: the visit to Parque Doramas, a beautifully landscaped park that features flowers, cacti and native Canarian plants such as palm trees that date back over a hundred years.

Then, it time for visiting Vegueta, the historic part of Las Palmas. Here you will visit Casa Museo de Colón which is devoted to the life of Christopher Columbus, one of the world's most famous explorers. His role in making the Canaries a gateway to the New World is documented throughout the museum, a gorgeous 15th-century mansion in the heart of Las Palmas. Featuring a grand Gothic-style exterior and impressive architecture, legend has it that Columbus once stayed here before continuing his great voyage of discovery. The museum's collection includes maps and navigational instruments, a recreation of the interior of La Niña and a room full of priceless pre-Columbian artefacts.

Re-board your motorcoach for the drive to Tejeda. This picturesque village is located beside the famous "Cruz de Tejeda" (Cross of Tejeda), which marks the center of Gran Canaria and can be seen from local restaurants. Resting 3,280 feet above sea level, Tejeda is surrounded by beautiful orchards and farms.

Travel to the charming town of Teror and visit the main plaza. There, walk alongside the Basilica de la Virgin del Pino (Madonna of the Pine). This neoclassic church you see today is the third to be built on the same spot since the 15th century. Outside, ten gargoyles stand guard on the sides of the church; inside the main features are the vast Baroque altar and the richly clothed, wooden carved figure of the Virgin Mary. According to legend, in 1481, a vision of the Virgin appeared in a pine tree to local shepherds. Since that time, the Basilica has played a very important role for the community.

After having lunch, next stop is the Jardin de la Marquesa de Arucas (the botanical gardens of the Duchess of Arucas). Established in 1880 by the island's first Marquis and his wife, the gardens are a romantic and serene setting for the 2,500 tropical plants that live in the five acre park-like setting.
