Village of Valleseco

Valleseco is located in the centre-north of Gran Canaria. It is made up of two main ravines, Barranco de la Virgen and Barranco de Madrelagua, and a central, drier valley, giving the municipality its paradoxical name. At an altitude of 1,000m above sea level, Valleseco is often enveloped in a “sea of clouds”, which gives it its distinctive deep green landscape. A visit to the local Ethnographic Museum is another must.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Respect and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, etc.).
