Caves in Gran Canaria: The route
The sugar
Sugar production was the economic engine of Gran Canaria for several centuries; and the town of Ingenio was a great productive center of this industry. You will discover this beautiful town and learn a little more about the smart use of water in this place.
The troglodytes
There are lots of examples of caves in Gran Canaria. Some of them are daily visited by hundreds of tourists. However, there are others that are little known but that show surprising architecture. We will visit one of these places that, we promise, will leave you speechless.
