Touring East to South - Fataga
Continuing towards south, you will come across the small ‘Pueblo’ (village) of Fataga lying in the ‘Valley of the Thousand Palms’ in a picturesque setting of tall cliffs, palms and fruit trees just 20 min north of the beach resort Playa del Inglés.
Perched on a rock threatening to precipitate into the gorge, this enchanted mountain village with charming rural houses, palm groves and a nice church is considered the most beautiful village on the island. Once you are there, you might as well visit the pretty craft shops with all sorts of handmade products to take home as souvenirs, such as shawls, pottery or wickerwork just to name some out of the big choice offered.
There are also several pleasant restaurants and bars inviting you to sit and enjoy the pleasures of life in beautiful and tranquil surroundings.
Near the village you will find the two reservoirs Soria and Las Niñas, both set in superb surroundings, which definitely deserve a visit because of the magnificent views and tranquillity these places have to offer.
On your way out of Fataga and further down south don’t miss the unique experience of a camel ride in the Barranco de Fataga that is, if you dare it!
