Santa Lucia, Gran Canaria

The dome church of Santa Lucia

Anyone who wants to combine spanish culture with a picturesque landscape should travel to Gran Canaria. Especially the adorable village of Santa Lucia is recommended. Many small and comfortable hotels, pensions and vacation flats are furnished in the typical spanish style.

Everyone who has booked the hotel nearly the dome church of Santa Lucia, enjoys the view on the impressing church. But you can admire much more than cultural buildings [and treasures] in Santa Lucia. Even unique wonders of nature can experienced and explored here. E.g. the impressive crater slopes of the volcano Tirajana. Also the rock monolith Fortaleza Grande brings goose skin feeling, if you think about the fact that in the year 1483 some inhabitants have rushed from the cliff only to avoid living under spanish authority.

Besides all of these grand natural spectacles Santa Lucia is outstanding by the hospitality of the spanish people. Comfortable vacation flats, which have been furnished and decorated with much spanish love to the detail give us an evidence how friendly the spanish people are to tourists. It is naturally possible to book a day trip with a rented jeep to the coast of Gran Canaria. Windsurfing and diving are some of the most popular water sports on Gran Canaria.

The winds which are blowing here are luring not only the windsurfers but also friends of sailing to the popular holiday island. Everyone who enjoys a glass of wine on the terrace of his vacation flat in Santa Lucia at the evening is rewarded with a unique view on the rock scenery of the Barranco de Tirajana as a crowning ending of the day. Behind that the sun is slowly hiding.
