Galdar

Cueva Pintada Museum and Archaeological Park The Cueva Pintada Museum and Archaeological Park is the result of more than 24 years of excavation and conservation work of a huge archaeological set. The museum building has been built on the remains of an Aboriginal canary village and is an exceptional testimony of the culture of the former inhabitants of the island, of the society prior to the arrival of Europeans in Gran Canaria and of the first years of colonization. The set offers the visitor the opportunity to know in detail the indigenous houses and caves, observing the excavation work from a large walkway around the village. All visits to the Gáldar Cave are guided. It is necessary to make an appointment in advance. You can arrange your visit by calling 928 895 746 or by purchasing your ticket through the service. com
Church of Santiago The Church of Santiago de Gáldar, one of the most beautiful temples in the Canary Islands, is the bridge between the Baroque style and the first Neoclasicism of the Archipelago. From the missing church of the 16th century, interesting works of art such as the Green Pila are preserved in the present temple, where the first canaries conquered were baptized. Inside, and in the attached museum, several pieces of considerable value can be seen in painting, sculpture and goldsmiths.
Market La Recova On Long Street (as you know in the village) or Captain Quesada Street, we meet La Recova de Gáldar. A local product market where you will have meat, fish, cheese, eggs, as well as fruit and vegetables from all over the island. Open every day from 7: 30 to 13: 30, except on Fridays that open only in the afternoon from 16: 00 to 19: 30. Sunday is closed.
The Cdo Transfer The Chago Transfer has a clear bet on the local product of Gáldar, Gran Canaria and other Canary Islands. And it seems that 80% of the gender of his letter is produced in the Canary Islands. At the same time, they have a clear bet on the wines and beers of the Islands. In addition, it is located in the old town of Gáldar, a few steps from the Plaza de Santiago.
Natural Piscinas El Agujero Galdar A very authentic area of the island where there are no tourists. It stands out for being a paradise for the bathroom and sports practice like the bodyboard. All in a 100% local environment. In addition to the beach, it has natural pools of sea water. In El Agujero there are hardly any services such as showers, lavapiés, hammocks and public bathrooms. That's right, just a few steps away is the You Same Bar where you can buy drinks and something to eat piscolabis to escape. Next to the beach of El Agujero there is also a small and nice promenade. .
Casa - Antonio Padrón Museum The Casa-Museo Antonio Padrón: Centro de Arte Indigenista is a museum institution dependent on the Cabildo de Gran Canaria that exposes and disseminates the work of the Galdense painter and the current that raised the need to introduce an insular artistic tradition that reflected on his signs of identity, which reflected the way to see the island nature, as well as the way to interpret his social reality: indigenism.

It was the first capital of Gran Canaria. This is because the first guanartemes or kings of the island decided to settle in Galdar or Agaldar there by 1483. The people maintain much of their ancient architecture, being of the few Canary cities that retain part of the pre-Hispanic heritage.
