Basilica of San Juan Bautista

Highlight • Religious Site

Saint John the Baptist, to whom this church (the "Basilica de San Juan Bautista") is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth, and after the announcement of the incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, namely John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends upon him from heaven.
The memorial day of John the Baptist (San Juan Bautista) in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Telde Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The east of Gran Canaria is more of the "business" part of the island. It's busy, not necessarily the best road bike conditions. It is all the more worthwhile to drive through the quite beautiful city center of Telde, if one buffs the eastern arts. Especially recommended is the historic old town around the district of San Gregorio and the narrow, winding district of San Francisco. There are also many opportunities for a quick snack stop. Within the city's rather hearty from stew to fish soup, fresh seafood you get in the numerous restaurants on the coast. "Bienmesabe", sweet almond purée, is highly recommended as a sweet power dessert.
