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

Hoyos de Bandama winery Hoyos de Bandama winery www.photosgrancanaria.com

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.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
