Cruz de Tejeda Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

With a height of around 1500m, Cruz de Tejeda is the highest pass in Gran Canaria and also marks the geographical center of the island. Here, various rural roads meet from all directions.

Here is also a popular viewpoints of the island and especially on weekends it attracts a lot of excursionists here.

You do not go wrong when you bring a jacket, because just on the north side of the pass the trade wind blows steadily and often drives quite cool clouds up the mountain.

A restaurant with bar and a stall invite you to linger. There is delicious almond cake or the local specialty "Bienmasabe", a very fine tasting almond syrup.
