Dieser Ausflug hat nicht dass gehalten, was im Vorfeld versprochen wurde. Die Salinen könnte man weg lassen. Die Raum-Destillation war OK. Das anschließende Mittagsessen war nicht OK. Hier wurde bei weitem nicht das gehalten, was versprochen wurde. Die Zeit war auch viel zu knapp. Die anschließende Besichtigung der Kaffeeplantage mit Verköstigung, war eine reine Weinverkostung mit Käse. Kaffe wurde keiner angeboten. Desweiteren hat das einsammeln der Fahrgäste zu viel Zeit in Anspruch genommen.
If the Canaries were a meal, Gran Canaria would be the main course – and the dessert. This exclusive tour will give you a flavour of the island and its cuisine while taking in its natural beauty. A rum factory tour, salt flats, a visit to Arucas town and a typical Canarian farm are all on the menu. Maria, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘This is my favourite tour – the driving is well spaced out and each stop is a looker. Plus, you get to sample some typical Canarian specialities in a fabulous setting.'
First up is Salinas de Tenefé, where the salt flats are an important natural and cultural enclave where sea salt is produced as is has been for centuries. Next up is Arucas. Its colourful homes and flower-filled parks are overshadowed by the volcano-framed Church of St John the Baptist. You'll drop into the town's historic Arehucas distillery to sample some of its famed oak barrel-aged rum. Afterwards, we'll visit a family-owned restaurant for a traditional Canarian lunch made from locally sourced ingredients.
But the best is yet to come. The highlight of the day is the award-winning Finca La Laja – a typical Canarian farm – located in a deep, vegetation-filled gorge near Agaete. In this wild and rugged setting, you'll get to taste local wines, cheese, Teror chorizo, Canarian ‘wrinkly' potatoes, cake and the farm's trademark coffee, which is grown here. You'll also learn how to prepare spicy ‘mojo' sauces.
