San Agustín – Discover Gran Canaria

We take the bus to the picturesque fishing village of Puerto de Mogán and meander through the traditional market. We explore the underwater world of the impressive coast in a submarine. Or visit one of the cave houses that are still lived in today and the cave church of the island's original inhabitants. We finish off the evening with Canary Island delicacies in a cave restaurant in the wildly romantic Guayadeque valley.

  A really special experience even for island inhabitants themselves is an excursion to the Tagoror cave restaurant: Get to know Canarian cooking with the locals to the accompaniment of traditional music. "Sancocho", a delicious fish dish, is a typical meal for the islanders. "Papas Arrugadas", specially prepared crinkled potatoes with "mojo", a spicy Canarian dip, are highly recommended. These classic and original dishes can be sampled at the Hapimag residence, where a weekly Canarian buffet is organised. There are also daily delights to enjoy at our "Bistro Palmeras" - grilled sole and delicious tapas, cocktails and other tasty dishes. In addition, there are many other good restaurants close to the residence.
