What to expect

Depart from your hotel for a full-day journey through Gran Canaria's rural southeast. The first stop is the historic salt pans of Tenefé, where you'll see how Atlantic seawater, sun, wind and traditional craft come together in the salt-making process.

Continue to the ancient granary caves of La Audiencia and learn how Canarian communities stored and protected grain. Rather than focusing on a list of dates, your guide will help you understand the landscape, from the steep terrain and need to protect food to the knowledge required to organise a community on a volcanic island.

The final stop is La Jaira de Ana, a working local farm where you'll meet the people behind the produce, visit the animals and make your own goat cheese while learning about each step of the process.

Afterwards, enjoy a tasting of artisan cheeses with different textures and flavours, accompanied by olives and a fresh tomato salad made with simple, local ingredients. Water and one glass of wine or beer per person are included, while a soft drink may also be available, subject to availability. To round off the experience, the cheese you've created will be prepared for you to take away.
