If you are looking for a place to feel the wind, watch a volcanic landscape and hear the sound of the waves, you should come to this place.
Situated a few minutes from the capital of Gran Canaria. Easy to reach by road. Here you can see the wonderful views of the north coast of the island, the force of the sea crashing against the rocks and wind. It also has some stunning views of the capital. You can see the island in the distance.
It's a nice place to take pictures and admire the sculpture of Atlanta, which seems to receive the sea with open arms. And if you get hunger not worry, because there you can find a small restaurant where you can dine while admiring all the beautiful scenery.
The Indian palm represents the immigrant, who after making a fortune in Cuba,returned to the archipelago by clear display of his acquired wealth, representing a personal triumph with the backwardness of the peasantry canary of the time.
Today the party of the Indians held on Carnival Monday, simulating the landing of immigrants in the harbor, dressed in the traditional Indian attire (white rigorousCaribbean and Panama hats ”), to then begin the battle with powder To the soundof Cuban music.
The origin of the custom of playing and battling with talcum powder is not entirely clear. It is believed that after the abandonment of a lot of flour in poor condition at the port of La Palma, residents used it as a perfect toy for jokes so characteristic ofcarnival day.
Forward a project that began in July next sixteen years in business. Produced by the Cultural Association Ingenio Songs and Dances of the "International Folklore Festival Villa de Ingenio" Shows Solidarity of the Peoples" is an event that each summer makes Gran Canaria and in particular the town of Ingenio, becomes a party where is leading the dance and music.
It is gratifying to meet annually in July involved in a project that unites the world through culture, dance, music and tradition.
Years of experience have enriched us culturally, day by day, being with the embassies where we share not only dance and tradition but sometimes they are mostly friends who remain to this day. An act that each year we hope to not only the organization but also the public that there are attending workshops dominated the interaction between different cultures coming from as far away. It is not just a show where dance show but a time when the attendees enjoyed getting to know the components of the guests, tasting of foods from the countries participating in the festival, knowing about the cultural embassies, among so variety. An experience that is complemented throughout the week with colorful parades and performances in and out of our town.
Immersed in economic and social situation of concern, last year we face the tough task of following through with the festival but without the financial means for its realization. Thinking the best for the festival and for a people who love and preserve their traditions, the organization carries out mechanisms for the recovery of it reminiscent of rocky beginnings. Offered for sale a ticket, thanks to companies involved and join gift giving, most valuable. It gives us a great response from citizens who are to be sold in its entirety.
Since I was little, I always had certain beliefs about the Virgin of Santa Rita and the small churches all. Do not know if it's coincidence, luck or perhaps fate, but all the promises I've made have been met.
This small church located near the airport of Gran Canaria, is a famous place of pilgrimage on the island, because when the day is the festival of the Virgen de Santa Rita, on the roads we see many pilgrims on their way to church.
The church is amazing by day but at night is fascinating and somewhat mysterious, because when they feel that way about a good feeling running through your body.
One of the visits should do if they are in Gran Canaria is the Church of Santa Rita.
This year some friends attended the Rally Isla de Lanzarote and his words were clear: Spectacular.
My friends are from Gran Canaria, and bought a ferry ticket to travel to the island of Lanzarote, where they celebrated the event and to which attended every year. Once in Lanzarote, there was only going to the sections where the riders spent their cars at high speed and skidding.
I must say that in the Canary Islands has existed for years a great love of motor sport, especially at the rallies. Years ago I remember attending the rally Canary Islands when held in the municipality of Telde. Since childhood, many parents not only teach their children various ways canary, but also lead to these events, which tend to unite father and son.
Finally, I can only say a few words that my friend finished his story in the rally last year Lanzarote: LANZAROTE TO RALLY THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST 5 YEARS. THE PODIUM dispute until the last mile.
