Rural hotels in Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is a little promoted destination for rural tourism. Quite the contrary, it is a famous sun and beach destination. The good thing is that we have both.

In the following lines we are going to list our top 10 rural hotels in Gran Canaria. Let’s go!
1) Parador Cruz de Tejeda, one of the best rural hotels in Gran Canaria
The Parador of Cruz de Tejeda is one of the best rural hotels in Gran Canaria due to its idyllic setting overlooking the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Among its facilities, we highlight the hanging pool overlooking the Roque Bentayga and Roque Nublo, but note that access is not included in the room price (you have to pay the spa). You can combine your getaway with numerous hiking trails and other things to do in Tejeda.
