Day 15 : A visit to Telde

 We hopped on a local bus and made our way down to Gran Canaria's second City, Telde.

We walked through the main shopping centre where the people were getting ready for Epiphany,  the most important day for the Spanish in the Christmas calendar. 




The local kids were very excited at the thought of three Kings arriving in the morning with their gifts.

We then strolled over to the old town where we visited the Basílica de San Juan Bautista which is set in a beautifully quiet ,small plaza.

We then took the small walk to the picturesque Acueducto de Inés Chemida the 19th century Aqueduct. 



Our next stop was Monumento al Faycan a peaceful garden with seven fountains depicting the Islands of the Canaries.
