Puerto de las Nieves is the harbour of Agaete: a white village at the foot of the cliff, with the Tenerife ferry leaving several times a day and a row of fish restaurants facing the water. The Paseo de los Poetas runs along the seafront with verses set into the ground, and ends where the sea opens completely to the west.
At a glance
Zone: North-west · Agaete· See everything in this areaWhat to see and do
- The Paseo de los Poetas, verses underfoot and the sea always at your side
- The natural pools north of the village, carved into volcanic rock
- El Dedo de Dios, the rock that lost its tip in the 2005 storm and is still standing
- The seafront restaurants: the day’s fish, no ceremony
Getting there
- By car from Las Palmas: about 40 scenic minutes on the GC-2
- Direct buses from Las Palmas and from Gáldar
- Parking by the quay, emptier outside ferry times
- Pairs well with the Agaete valley and its coffee plantations, ten minutes inland
Good to know · Book a table facing the water for the sun hour: the seafront restaurants fill up exactly then, and not by chance.
