If on the other hand we want to reach the capital via the inland route, we must head towards Moya. We will drive around ravines for a few minutes where we can see laurel forests. At Moya we can enjoy views of banana plantations and, further on, views of the coast with the capital in the far background. Firgas will take us just a few more kilometers into some typical old streets and some great beauty spots such as the square and parroquial church of San Roque, townhall and cultural centre. From there we move on to Arucas where, on arrival, the stunning gothic church welcomes us in. The rum factory, the Marquesa gardens or mountain of Arucas are other places well worth a visit before we wind up back at the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. If we then have to make our way to the south, some 30 kilometers of straight motorway will get us back to our hotel or apartment.
