🏺 Northern archaeology route
Three major sites of the ancient Canarians in a single trip along the north coast.
I pick you up in Las Palmas or at the cruise port and we head north along the GC-2. We stop at the Valerón granary, the Cueva Pintada in Gáldar and the Maipés de Agaete necropolis, and I wait for you while you visit each one. The stops are close to each other, so the route fits well into a cruise stopover.
