Cruz Tejeda
The village of Tejeda is the second smallest on the Gran Canaria island. It is home to the nearby Cruz de Tejeda (Cross of Tejeda), a sombre carved stone cross on a mountain pass at 1580 m (5184 ft) above sea level, marking the geographical centre of Gran Canaria. At this popular sightseeing attraction, you’ll find bustling restaurants and bars, shops selling souvenirs and other local specialities. This is a good place to sit back, relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. If you crave peace, then you should avoid this area at weekends, as this is also a favourite place of excursion for the locals.
