What to expect in Gáldar
The Cueva Pintada is a cave decorated with geometric aboriginal paintings, preserved inside a museum and archaeological park built around the original settlement. It is the main reason most visitors come to Gáldar, and it rewards anyone curious about the island before the Spanish conquest.
The old town is worth a stroll too: the Church of Santiago dominates the main square, and the courtyard of the old town hall (Casas Consistoriales) holds a dragon tree some three hundred years old. It is a town that surprises people who think they already know Gran Canaria.
The trip and practical tips
