What's on in La Aldea de San Nicolas

La Aldea de San Nicolás is a remote farming town on the wild west coast of Gran Canaria, hemmed in by mountains and reached by a long, spectacular cliff road. It's tomato country, with greenhouses spread across the valley floor and a real working-village feel — famously the place of a long-running land dispute, "el pleito," that shaped local identity.

That story is the thread through several of its events: the El Pleito Digital Gymkhana turns the town into a self-guided escape room, and an exhibition lays out the history of the land dispute. For the active, the Guguy Trail is a tough mountain race over the Tasartico ravines. Here's what's on while you're here.
