Описание: Artenara is one of the municipalities of Gran Canaria. It is located in the west of the island and its town is almost in the middle of the island. It's the highest village of the island with an altitude of 1700 metres.

One of the most famous places to visit when you go to Artenara is Complejo Arqueológico de Acusa which is an archaeological site with many caves where native people used to live at. In fact, Artenara was considered one of the main native cities of the islands back in the day before they were conquered.

In Artenara there is also a very unique church that is inside a cave called La Ermita de la Cuevita. On the other hand, a more traditional church is Iglesia de San Matías.

Artenara because it is located on top of a mountain has some of the greatest views of the island. A big part of Artenara's landscape is some of Gran Canaria's natural reserve which has been a protected area for several years and has some endemic species inside of it.
