Tejeda

Tejeda is best known within the Canary Islands for Roque Nublo, the volcanic rock monolith rising above Gran Canaria’s central highlands. The town stands in the Caldera de Tejeda, a deeply eroded volcanic basin ringed by ridges that extend towards Pico de las Nieves. Nearby Roque Bentayga, another striking crag, reflects the importance of these uplands to Gran Canaria’s pre-Hispanic inhabitants, with archaeological remains in the area. Tejeda also marks its almond-growing tradition with the winter Fiesta del Almendro en Flor, while local shops specialise in almond sweets.
