On excursion in Las Palmas
To know better Canary Islands we attended the excursion, which showed northern parts of the island. On the tour saw Bandama Caldera, Botanical garden, Dedo de Dios in Puerto de Nieve and coffee plantation.
First, we drove along the winding roads to the Bandama caldera. Its measures are spectacular, because it is 569 meters / 1.867 feet above sea level, wide 1000 meters / 3300 feet and 200 meters / 700 feet deep. The view around was so enjoyable that when leaving from there, we had wistful mind. When I worked in Las Palmas 1969, there was a story about the man who lived in Bandama caldera. I was interested if there is somebody living at the bottom of caldera yet today and I did find from Internet, that the last and unique person who lived at the bottom of Bandama Caldera was Agustín Hernández. He moved to there with his family. Later his family left Bandama, but Agustín stayed there. It sounds incredible, but he lived the 69 years. For those who loves hiking, there is 2 km / 1.2 mi long path, leading to the bottom of Bandama caldera.
Next, our excursion headed to the Canary Islands Botanical Garden. The garden is large, because its area is approximately 27 acres (11 hectares). This meant to us, that we visited to the area where are cacti and palm trees.
Next, we drove to Puerto de las Nieves (harbor of snow). We dined at the restaurant with the same as the village. Puerto de las Nieves is a small village and from there is a catamaran connection to Tenerife which lasts 80 minutes. Puerto de las Nieves is known for its sea stack El Dedo de Dios (God’s finger). November 18, 2005 strong Tropical Storm collapsed it. Sigh.
Finally, we headed for a coffee plantation. Plantation was surrounded by high and steep slopes, which meant that there was microclimate, which offered a great opportunity to grow coffee, bananas, oranges and grapes. Thus, it was natural that the vine made from grapes were for sale and we the opportunity to taste many kind of wines with different cheeses. Excellent vines.
En español:
Excursión en Las Palmas
Para conocer mejor las Islas Canarias asistimos a la excursión, que mostraba el norte de la isla. En el recorrido vieron Bandama Caldera, el jardín botánico, Dedo de Dios en Puerto de Nieve y la plantación de café.
Primero, condujimos a lo largo de los sinuosos caminos hasta la caldera de Bandama. Sus medidas son espectaculares, ya que es 569 metros / 1.867 pies sobre el nivel del mar, ancho 1000 metros / 3300 pies y 200 metros / 700 pies de profundidad. La vista alrededor fue tan agradable que, al salir de allí, tuvimos una mente anhelo. Cuando trabajé en Las Palmas en 1969, había una historia sobre el hombre que vivía en la caldera de Bandama. Me interesaba saber si todavía hay alguien viviendo en el fondo de la caldera y encontré por Internet que la última y única persona que vivía en el fondo de Bandama Caldera fue Agustín Hernández. Se mudó a allí con su familia. Más tarde, su familia abandonó Bandama, pero Agustín se quedó allí. Parece increíble, pero vivió los 69 años. Para los amantes del senderismo, hay un sendero de longitud de 2 kilómetros / 1.2 millas, que conduce al fondo de la caldera de Bandama.
Luego nuestra excursión se dirigió al Jardín Botánico de Canarias. El jardín es grande, porque su área es de aproximadamente 27 acres (11 hectáreas). Esto significó para nosotros, que visitamos solamente el área donde hay cactus y palmeras.
Luego, manejamos hacia Puerto de las Nieves. Cenamos en el restaurante con el mismo nombre que el pueblo. Puerto de las Nieves es un pequeño pueblo y desde allí hay una conexión de catamarán a Tenerife que dura 80 minutos. Puerto de las Nieves es conocido por su formación rocosa El Dedo de Dios. El 18 de noviembre de 2005, una fuerte tormenta tropical lo colapsó. Suspiro.
Finalmente, nos dirigimos a una plantación de café. La plantación estaba rodeada de laderas altas y empinadas, lo que significaba que había microclima, lo que ofrecía una gran oportunidad para cultivar café, plátanos, naranjas y uvas. Por lo tanto, era natural que el vino hecho de uvas estuviera a la venta y tuvimos la oportunidad de probar muchos tipos de vinos con diferentes quesos. Excelentes vinos.

En excursion à Las Palmas
Pour mieux connaître les îles Canaries nous avons assisté à l’excursion, qui a montré les parties nord de l’île. Sur la tournée vu Bandama Caldera, jardin botanique, Dedo de Dios à Puerto de Nieve et plantation de café.
D’abord, nous avons roulé le long des routes sinueuses jusqu’à la caldeira de Bandama. Ses mesures sont spectaculaires, car il est de 569 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer, large de 1000 mètres / 3300 pieds et 200 mètres / 700 pieds de profondeur. La vue autour était tellement agréable qu’en partant de là, nous avions un esprit nostalgique. Quand j’ai travaillé à Las Palmas en 1969, il y avait une histoire à propos de l’homme qui vivait dans la caldeira de Bandama. Je me suis intéressé à savoir s’il y a quelqu’un qui vit encore au fond de la caldera aujourd’hui et que j’ai trouvé sur Internet que la dernière et unique personne qui vivait au bas de Bandama Caldera était Agustín Hernández. Il a déménagé là-bas avec sa famille. Plus tard, sa famille a quitté Bandama, mais Agustín est resté là. Cela semble incroyable, mais il a vécu les 69 ans là. Pour ceux qui aiment la randonnée, il y a un sentier de 2 km qui mène au fond de la caldeira de Bandama.
Ensuite, notre excursion s’est dirigée vers le jardin botanique des îles Canaries. Le jardin est grand, car sa superficie est d’environ 27 acres (11 hectares). Cela signifiait pour nous, que nous avons visité la zone où sont les cactus et les palmiers.
Ensuite, nous sommes allés à Puerto de las Nieves (port de neige). Nous dînions au restaurant avec le même nom que le village. Puerto de las Nieves est un petit village et à partir de là il ya une connexion en catamaran à Tenerife qui dure 80 minutes. Puerto de las Nieves est connu pour sa pile de mer El Dedo de Dios (le doigt de Dieu). Le 8 novembre 2005 , il ya avait une forte tempête qui a causé son effondrement. Soupir.
Finalement, nous nous dirigions vers une plantation de café. La plantation était entourée par de pentes hautes et raides, ce qui signifiait qu’il y avait un microclimat, ce qui offrait une grande opportunité de faire cultiver du café, des bananes, des oranges et des raisins. Ainsi, il était naturel que la vigne faite à partir de raisins était à vendre et nous avions l’occasion de goûter de nombreux types de vins avec des fromages différents. Excellentes vins.

Finalmente, fomos para uma plantação de café. A plantação estava rodeada de encostas altas e íngremes, o que significava que havia microclima, o que oferecia uma ótima oportunidade para cultivar café, bananas, laranjas e uvas. Assim, era natural que a vinho feita de uvas estivesse à venda e a oportunidade para nós de provar muitos tipos de vinhos com diferentes queijos. Excelentes vinhos.

50. Stephen William Hawking, English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, visited also this plantation. When leaving the plantation he had mangos on his knees.

It looks lovely and very exotic Matti. I’ve never seen a coffee plantation so very interesting. Congratulations on the anniversary of 100 years. How will you celebrate? Kind regards, Marion.

Hello Marion.
I am glad that You loved my post. You noticed that tomorrow we celebrate our anniversary of 100 years independency. Maybe You have noticed my post bout it among Blogroll.
Have a good day!

The Canary Islands are beautiful! I’ve never seen a coffee plantation. Very interesting. Thank you! 🌷Christine

Hello Christine.
Thank you for Your kind words. There are so much to see, but time is Limited. I thank that guided excursions are worth for participating.
Have a good day!

Comment by Sartenada — December 5, 2017 @ 09:18 |
What they have in their Botanical garden can only be in England in green houses like in Kew Gardens. It looks amazing. Great to see more than just beach of the area. Thank you.

Hello Ute.
Same here in Finland – in gardens only. 🙂 If You remember I presented already old town with is gorgeous Christopher Columbus Museum. Thank You commenting.

Wow, happy Independence Day!
Comment by utesmile — December 5, 2017 @ 14:32 |
Thank You UTE. White snow covers land and sky is blue. They are colors of our flag also.
Comment by Sartenada — December 6, 2017 @ 08:55 |
That is true, a nice way to see it. Was that how the flag got its’ colours?
Comment by utesmile — December 6, 2017 @ 09:04 |
Hello Ute.
Here is Wikipedia story about our flag. Because You were interested in these colors, I will make an exception and present a song (there are many versions, best has been seen 1 112 730 times) called sininen and valkoinen, in English blue and white. Because this popular song is in Finnish, You must read translation first before listening this song.
Lyrics in English of Blue and white:

Hi Ute.
Thank You. The lyrics is very thoughtful. What You would tell about Your country in same situation? Think about it. Now You know Jukka’s narrative. Sometimes deep thoughts are good for man – I think.
Comment by Sartenada — December 7, 2017 @ 08:11 |
Definitely food for thought…. I agree.

Gracias, es un placer tener tus comentarios! ¡Eso es correcto! La última post de esta serie después de dos semanas te muestra que Las Palmas también es un paraíso de surf. ¡Tengo algunas fotos preciosas, aunque yo mismo lo digo!
Un abrazo y ¡buen día!

Thank you for taking us along with you as you toured this beautiful island. The cacti in the botanical garden is fascinating. I also enjoyed the view of the coffee plantation tucked into a valley between the peaks. This is a very interesting tour.

Thank You. Gran Canarias offers interesting landscapes and surprises. For example, I did not know that is surf paradise also, which I present in my next post among others.
Have a nice day!

Belíssimas fotos, como sempre. Procure na internet por “Dedo de Deus Teresópolis”, é uma formação rochosa com o mesmo aspecto deste que você fotografou. Fica a 60 km da onde moro e é exuberante.
Abraço.

Muito interessante. I think that I have heard the name Teresópolis when I visited in Penedo which called a “Pequena Finlandia” and Rio. Foi surpreendente semelhante. Fico super feliz que você gostou das minhas fotos! Obrigado.
Tenha um dia maravilhoso!

Great that you allow us to discover more and very different areas of the island of Gran Canaria. The view at its capital Las Palmas as well as the impressing Bandama Caldera, the beach, (former) God’s Fnger, Puerto de las Nieves as well as coffee plantation and botanical garden! These cacti and succulents are giants! Wow!
Thanks for part 3 – and at this occasion I also would like to wish you (and Finland) a rather nice centenary!

Hello Deb.
Thank You. I loved the lighthouse also and that is why I showed it. 🙂 Canarian bananas are smaller than, for example, those coming from South America but are sweeter on the contrary.
Have a nice day!

The botanical gardens are beautiful! I never enjoyed them as a child, but as an adult, I’ve come to appreciate them. It’s fascinating the different types of pants that grow and thrive in various locations. The coffee plantation is very interesting. How neat that they also grow wine grapes!
Thank you for the lovely photos! I hope you had a nice independence day!

Nice photos! I love the north of Gran Canaria, the nature is beautiful and it’s not yet full of tourists. Unfortunately, the Dedo de Dios was destroyed by a storm so I couldn’t see it anymore. But I really enjoyed Puerto de las Nieves and the fish restaurants 🙂
Seems like you had a great time!

I have photos about the Dedo de Dios, in some of my Las Palmas vacations. Have You seen my newest post and noticed about reindeer rides?
Comment by Sartenada — March 14, 2019 @ 13:01 |
great photos of the surfers! I’m in Las Palmas, working on a ship in the harbor. Your photos make me want to get out and explore even more. I wish I was able to, but can only leave the ship for a limited time. Do you have any recommendations for what to do/see with only 3-4 hours from the port?
Comment by Capt Jill — July 30, 2019 @ 07:48 |

Oh, I am sorry that I do not have ideas. We love to walk Las Canteras beach back and forth. did You see the first post showing it:

yes, I was able to go there last time I was here. I was working days then, so nothing was open but the bars and restaurants.
This time I’m on the night shift, so I can go to museums and shops and parks and stuff like that.
