Firgas, in northern Gran Canaria, is a small town full of charm. Its history has long been connected to water and today an artificial waterfall flows down the steps right in the centre of its old town, tumbling 30 metres down Paseo de Gran Canaria street. We highly recommend the circular hike to Balneario de Azuaje, starting in Firgas (see Balneario de Azuaje). Firgas’ water mill, the oldest in the Canary Islands still in use, has been renovated and is open to visitors. After a walk through Firgas’ charming streets, many decorated with original glazed tiles, there are plenty of grill restaurants ready to cook you a meal over charcoal.

Firgas is situated 25 kilometres from the capital of the island and lies at an altitude of 465 metres above sea-level. It is characterised by having both long and narrow hills which in turn are divided by a dense and complex network of gullies. The town centre of Firgas offers numerous cultural and religious places. Therefore, It is recommended that you visit the Parish Church of San Roque, constructed over the ruins of what was the first Hermitage of San Juan Ortega, built in 1502. Of this building at present only the main entrance and the coffered ceiling of the central nave exist, as well as an important work of religious art. The Gran Canaria Walkway and the Canarias Walkway, in the town centre, previously formed the Central High Street (Calle Real del Centro). These pedestrian walkways have a natural incline which has served to construct a beautiful 30 metre long quarry stone cascade terminating in a beautiful monument. To one side of the walkway 22 coats of arms, which represent all the municipalities of Gran Canaria, as well as the coat of arms of the island, have been placed. The “gofio” (powdered corn) mill of Firgas, also known as the Molino del Conde (the Count’s Mill), dates from the XVI century. It is situated over the waterway of the Arucas and Firgas Water- board.

The waterfall in the middle of the village centre is beautiful.

The site doesn't allow me multiple location at a swipe, so "Firgas" stands for the "Buen Succeso" location, and the rest lies in Las Palmas....apologies.

Es el municipio con menor extensión de la isla, siendo además uno de los once municipios canarios que no poseen salida al mar. Se la conoce también como el balcón del Atlántico por sus vistas sobre dicho océano y de todo el norte, este y oeste de la isla.
