Two years ago, I bought a one-way ticket to Gran Canaria.
I didn’t have any friends there. I didn’t know where I would live. I didn’t know anything about Gran Canaria. In fact, up until a few months prior, I hadn’t had any interest in visiting the Canary Islands at all.
And yet here I was, about to move to one of them.
Saturday was looking like the apocalypse.
Is there a way to start a year recap without sounding cheesy or overly optimistic (or these days, apocalyptic)? I don’t think so. So I’m going to dive right in.
When I meet people who are new to Gran Canaria, and ask where they should go, I always tell them to visit Tejeda.
Tejeda is in the center of the island, tucked in the mountains. Getting there is not easy: you have to drive through narrow roads that should be one-way streets, roads with curves so strong they’d put camel humpbacks to shame.
I’m about to let you in on a secret.
Seven secrets, in fact. And I don’t want you to keep these secrets. I want you to tell everybody. Because everyone should know.
Are you ready?
