Iglesia de la concepción

nice traditional, so quiet and so peaceful

Charming old Church in the small town of Agate. It's relatively simple and has a warm aurora to it when you enter.

Lovely building

Nice

I really enjoyed stopping for an hour and visiting this pretty village of Agaete in the northwest of Gran Canaria. Agaete is known for its picturesque streets, its white Iglesia de la Concepción church, and its tropical gardens. - Activity: Walk in the center and explore the surrounding area. Located between the ocean and the green valleys of the center of the island, this small village is known throughout the archipelago thanks to its Rama festivals, which date back to the times of the aborigines and attract thousands of visitors every year during the first week of August. A short walk in the heart of the village allows you to appreciate the architecture of the colorful houses and you can stop in the charming little shaded square, where the church is located. Two kilometers further down, we arrive at Puerto de Las Nieves. On either side of the port, you can swim and enjoy the pebble beaches or have lunch in one of the seaside restaurants. ► San Nicolas road. South of the village, the beach is interrupted by a brown cliff, from which until 2005 stood out a rocky needle, called the finger of God (Dedo de Dios). It broke up during a tropical storm. but you will see many photos of it in tourist places. The road that leads to San Nicolas is narrow and runs along a dizzying cliff, adrenaline and spectacular landscapes guaranteed. Transportation ► Buses. Line number 101 takes you to San Nicolas and Gáldar and line 103 to Las Palmas. There are cars to rent at the port... ► Boat. The port of Agaete is connected to Santa Cruz de Tenerife by two modern ferries in 60 minutes, the Bentago Express and the Bencomo Express. Puerto de Las Nieves (Agaete), in the north-east of Gran Canaria, is connected 4 times a day to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, by a car ferry from the Fred Olsen company. A free bus takes you there from Las Palmas in front of the Fred Olsen agency, one hour before each departure.
