The La Laja plantation, situated in the Agaete Valley, specifically in Los Berrazales, is renowned for its diverse range of agricultural products. While they cultivate various goods, their primary focus lies on coffee and wine production. Their coffee consists of natural and typical Arabica beans, widely regarded as the finest variety available.
Great experience and such a beautiful location! Definitely a must, even if you are farther away on the island. The trip (by an easy road) to the valley itself is already fabulous!
Without any prior booking, we took a wine&coffee tour that was finished with the tasting (they have two options: wine&coffee tour for 10euros and coffee tour for 6euros).

The place with the soul ❤️ Ideal to spend couple hours, take an interesting tour around plantation and winery, enjoy very good local wine and coffee. The girls who work there are like angels, so kind, attentive and helpful! Also, big thanks to Victor, we wish you all the best in your business, so client oriented, everyone should take you as example. Thanks a lot for all you did for us in the situation with flat car tire.

Very friendly staff. The tour is not very elaborate but please remember that you only pay €12 for the tour and tasting. We also learned something about coffee and the fruits they grow. We enjoyed the apple/coffee marmalade.
Our guide Anna was great! She spoke perfect English.

We went to this place with one of our excursions with Trip Gran Canaria. Here you can take a look at orange and avocado plants, coffee bean plants and many more. You can get more info about the coffee bean process and can taste their coffee at the bar. In the shop you can find some local products. We can recommend the view at the rooftop terrace, the valley is amazing from there.

In a beautiful setting you find a near perfect bodega beautifully presented. This bodega produces not only wine but it’s own coffee. Apart from this the landscape contains many different fruit trees. The guide presented a very knowledgeable tour not only of the wine and coffee but all the other parts of the finca. We did the tasting tour which was red-white & rose wine and some snacks and coffee. There is also a full restaurant and they have a shop where you can buy their products - we found it somewhat difficult to find and they need some more clarification on directions if you are driving there but there is also an option of a bus tour. The day was somewhat marred by a beautiful tame African grey parrot in a small cage and I would urge the owners to rectify this asap as it detracts from a very memorable visit

We can highly recommend the tour with tasting!
The diversity of plants, coffee, oranges, vines, papaya and much more, it also smelled great.🤩
The tasting included 3 wines, cheese, bread with sausage, crispbread. You can also try cake and coffee made in-house from their plants. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating, it was a great experience for us!😊

Absolutely loved this place!! The tour guide was very knowledgeable about both wine and coffee production, and to top it off the wine and coffee were truly brilliant.
I would recommend coming here from all over the Island. We drove from Maspalomas and it took roughly an hour.

We came here today and enjoyed every minute. The 10 Euros for the guided tour includes wine and coffee tasting. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely a must visit if you like coffee and wine. Even if you are not a fan, just visit the Valley, it’s beautiful!

I like nature nearby and the story about this place. Coffee is soft and not too bad. I don't like a wine, but people liked white wine. I liked the smell of orange flowers - it was surrounding. You should visit this play just for those tree flowers )

Beautiful place to visit. A short guided Tour with a small degustation in the end for 12 euros - which seemed like a fair price to me. The valley where it's located in, offers a stunning view.
Would come here a second time for sure. Wow effect guaranteed.

An incredible place as there grow mango, avocado, coffee, oranges, mandarines, bananas and many other things just in one place. Highly recommended to visit, but keep in mind that fruits are available to by there only in appropriate seasons. For instance, uou can buy and try mango at end of Summer, or in December. Very nice coffee is also there, which is a local well known arabica!

Beautiful place, the price for the visit and degustation is more than worth it, one thing though to me the coffee that was poured for degustation had extremely mild taste, like it would be if cut with too much water, would have been nice to have had a very strong, espresso like coffee to really have the flavours, their wines were very good, we took a bottle of dry white wine.
I recommend this place!! Must do I guess if you are visiting the island (plus we went with a stroller and no problem at all to go around during the visit)

We arrived at Bodega Los Berrazales in the mid-afternoon with our two-year-old daughter, following a visit to a nearby banana plantation. The road to the plantation was a bit narrow but manageable. Upon arrival at this charming and authentic coffee and orange plantation, we headed to the souvenir shop, planning to purchase our tickets. To our surprise, we were informed that payment would be after the tour and tasting.
Our guide, Anna, was truly exceptional. Her kindness, understanding, and genuine love for the plantation shone through. Anna provided a captivating history lesson, explained the coffee-making process, and introduced us to the various plants in the area. The most astonishing part was witnessing butterflies hatching in the wild, which Anna actively assisted by relocating caterpillars to ensure their survival.
The tasting session was enjoyable, though the wines didn't quite match my palate. The cheese, however, was delightful. They even generously refilled it when we ran out, thanks to our daughter's love for it with marmalade. The best surprise came when it was time to pay; they didn't charge for my daughter, resulting in a much more reasonable bill than expected. The extra cheese was a lovely bonus.
I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this hidden gem, and if you're fortunate, you'll have Anna as your guide.

Wonderful visit to this bodega in a beautiful valley near Agaete. We tasted three of their wines 🍷 with some bread, cheese 🧀, chorizo and jam.
Followed by some lemon cake with coffee and a short guided tour. All local produce from their farm.
The people were very welcoming 🙏 and the location was stunning 😍 even with a little rain shower.

A destination as part of "A taste of Gran Canaria" tour. Guide's English was very clear. Lovely setting at the end of a valley. Coffee and wine tasting, with small portions of food to help it all down. Chapel built into the hillsde.
The Parque Arqueológico Maipés de Agaete is a vast site that was once home to the Canariens who have left behind numerous tombs. The area is known for its unique landscape, and visitors can witness lizards roaming around freely. While the history of how these tombs were discovered and excavated remains unclear, they offer significant insight into the life of the original inhabitants.
An amazing place and an easy, well signed walk from the centre of Agaete. Only €3 entry and lots to see on a well maintained path. Lots of information boards in Spanish and very well translated English.

Fascinating! A huge site that initially seems quite barren, but is covered in tombs constructed by the original Canariens. I would have liked more information about how the tombs were discovered and excavated, and what the human remains revealed about the people. And it was the only place we’ve seen lizards…. Lots of lizards!

This is well worth visiting - it is very interesting to learn about the ancient graves but also a beautiful place, with views of the valley and mountains.
Sarah Mason — Google review
We were encouraged to visit this site in combination with the caves. I found the site slightly boring with relatively limited explanation of what was there, and lots of walking in the basking sun with few spots of shade for refuge.

A very interesting archaeological site in middle of a lava field. Very quiet on our visit. Signage excellent in Spanish and English. Toilets and a shop. Accessibility good.

Fascinating look into the history of the original people of the island. I'm glad to see they're renovating the area.
It's very nice to visit this in combination with the Cuevas Pintada in Galdar, to get a sense how people lived and the Cuevas del Rei, to see where the last stronghold was.
I hope Gran Canaria will keep investing in their history, it's fascinating!

La necropolis de Maipes is an archaeological park located in the northwest of Gran Canaria in the town of Agaete. There is a parking lot nearby. The entrance fee is 3 euros, and tickets are also valid for the Necropolis of Artear, Canada de lo Gatos and Cenobio de Valeron. The employees are very kind and accommodating. A beautifully landscaped path has been created that leads to the archaeological museum where you can see sections of the tombs and imagine what they look like from the inside. In the archaeological park itself, there are about 700 tombs, some of which are around 1300 years old, which is why they represent an exceptional historical value for the inhabitants of Gran Canaria. Sami park is a combination of gray earth and green vegetation and it looks very beautiful.

Absolutely worth a visit. Very informative and very emotional. Only €3 per person. You can walk into Agaete for lunch and a visit to the tropical gardens. Perfect day out.

Nice visit and there is no one there. I was alone the whole time, which was great. Even if you don't care about history, the mountains around the park are beautiful.
