Santa María de Guía sits in the green, banana-growing north-west of Gran Canaria, an old town of steep streets above the coast, famous across the island for its flor de Guía cheese made with thistle-flower rennet. It's a quietly handsome place with a fine church and a strong craft tradition, well away from the southern resorts.
Late June brings the San Pedro de La Atalaya fiestas, the town's patronal celebration, while the Casa de la Cultura runs several contemporary art exhibitions through the year. Here's what's on while you're here.
