Tip Of The Day: Hike The Bandama Caldera, Then Stop For Wine

The Hoyos de Bandama winery is the only winery in the Monte area of northeast Gran Canaria that is open to walk-ins, but you do need to book in advance for a full winery tour and tasting session. 

Located right by the gate to the paths around the Bandama caldera rim and down to its floor, it's a modern winery that has a 300-year history. If you drop in, you can try their award-winning wines by the glass and buy them by the bottle and the case.

The tasting area is set in a cooling patio with a water feature, old wine press and barrels for tables; Perfect after a strenuous walk on the soft Bandama picon.

Technically, the Hoyos de Bandama wines are not Gran Canaria wines as they do import some juice some Tenerife. This is perfectly acceptable under the Islas Canaria DO regulations and the wines are some of the best you can try in Gran Canaria.

The Caldera dry white is two euros per glass and 10 euros a bottle at the winery. Read our review of it here.

Contact Hoyos de Bandama via their website or call the number listed on the page.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
