Day 29 - A mountain drive to Teror

Our day started with planned visit to the mountain village of Teror, we drove most of the way with no problems until we came upon a "Road closed " sign on a narrow mountain road. There was no diversion signposted,  so it was a case of getting the maps out (no satnav) and plotting a new route via even narrower mountain roads....such fun.











We finally reached Teror which is a beautiful village surrounded by cloud covered mountains as a backdrop. 
We wandered the picturesque streets with a times looked like a movie set. 











We took time to see the 18th century Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Pino, which is dedicated to Gran Canaria's patron saint. 












We then stopped off at a small restaurant for a couple of bowls of the local stew which was delicious. 











We then had to plot a new route back to Aguimes, thankfully my trusty navigator used her map reading skills to find a route through the mountain roads via Vega de Santa Mateo, we even passed through a village called  Las Vegas. 














A very eventful and enjoyable day.
