Traditional villages such as the popular holiday destination Valle Gran Rey merge inconspicuously with the wild mountain landscapes of the island’s west. Palm trees define the scenery of the region wonderfully.
The small hamlets of the west can be reached by paths along massive rock formations.
Washed out Barrancos and rugged slopes together with the sun and wind make up the wildly romantic landscape.
