Pico de las Nieves

In Tejeda you will find the highest altitude in the province of Las Palmas, the Pico de las Nieves, with a height of 1,956 meters above sea level. The Pico de las Nieves is practically in the center of the island of Gran Canaria and hosts different protected points of the island, such as the Protected Landscape of the Summits, the Nublo Rural Park or the Riscos de Tirajana Natural Monument.

At the peak is the highest viewpoint of Gran Canaria, from which you can see, on clear days, some of the islands that make up the archipelago, and make out part of the island and, specifically, a sector that was declared a Biosphere Reserve by Unesco. The view from this point is unparalleled, by the ravines that are around with their sharp edges, and by some points crowned by volcanic pythons of enigmatic forms.

At the top of the Pico de las Nieves there is a semicircle covered in stone that faces west from whose viewpoint there are stunning sunsets, even more beautiful when there is sea clouds It is one of the most interesting natural spectacles of Tejeda.
