The excursion to “La Fuente de los Azulejos” after the rains offers a range of colors that completely changes the landscape, enjoying the ochres that are more visible over the reds and greens that become more intense, and the fog plays hide and seek among them. Sometimes it is cold here, sometimes there is a feeling of embarrassment but there is a great desire to discover where the water that we hear from the ravine comes from among stones, palm trees and pine trees.

This multicolored terrain in the southwest of Gran Canaria lends itself to a medium-high level excursion among the volcanic stones. The ravine located in the municipality between Mogán and La Aldea de San Nicolás was graced by the Tejeda volcano thousands of years ago, because when the lava flowed, the hydrothermal fluids made it possible for today's tourists and residents to decide to leave their homes to invigorate themselves with the reflection of these mineral stones.
Volcanic stones are mother earth, liberating energies are attributed to it, in addition to offering protection and unwanted emotional absorption.
The hikers go to nourish themselves in this part of the island of the energies and revitalization for the body, mind and soul, leaving their houses, after the rain to love and take care of themselves. As the Canarian aborigines would have done in the past.
Gran Canaria is an inexhaustible source of volcanic wealth and Los Azulejos will share the essence of who you are and how the cliffs welcome us. Do you want to connect with you? Dream and hit these trails, with good shoes and being fit. Meet your awakening in this space that will lend you the strength to unfold in life together with the rain that has come, this autumn month, and invites us to begin with vivacity and new purposes.
What I see I feel, what I feel I love, what I love I care for. We need more people connected to nature.
Rainwater flows from La Fuente de los Azulejos. It is a magical spring that will keep the unabsorbed water, rocking it with the winds, until the sun wants this landscape to become dry again, without losing its volcanic beauty and with the sun it will reflect other colors as beautiful as those of humid days.
In the whitish fog I cannot find the finite path and this kind of daytime darkness returns me to the woods, to those times when we were free among the bushes and played in the ravines, before we became urbanites to get away from the longed-for connection with the cliffs and the irritation.
We recommend you go with people who already know the area. Visit La Fuente de Los Azulejos, always accompanied. The satisfaction you will feel will make you consider living here.
Los Azulejos is between Venegueras (Mogán) and Tasarte (La Aldea de San Nicolás). By car it is reached by following the GC-200.
