This route crosses the island from south to north and is home to some of the most beautiful and spectacular spots on Gran Canaria, starting from the town of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and ending in the town of Gáldar; these two places bear churches built in honour of St. James the Apostle. What’s more, this route allows pilgrims to obtain the Plenary Indulgence in the Mother Church of Santiago de los Caballeros of Gáldar.
The four routes make up a unique experience that no hiking enthusiast can or should miss, starting at the iconic lighthouse of Maspalomas and passing through aboriginal sites, charming villages, volcanic calderas and wooded areas. A journey that can sometimes be tough, but its natural beauty will undoubtedly charm anyone who embarks on this marvellous adventure.
