We took a day off the beach and visited secluded Agaete valley to check the coffee plantation in Agaete. It was a lovely experience. Short walk through some coffee tree area, seeing different local fruit and other plants, meeting chicken which live on the property. Walking up you can see oranges, mango, avocado, figues... all in natural habitat. If it is raining or after rain which is not very frequent you can ask for plastic poncho :-) The tour ends in the sheltered seating area, where owners of the facility will explain every detail of small family coffee production company and also entertain you with description of details of steps of coffee production, while you sip on the cup of their yummy rare coffee and bite on delicious home made pastries. You will get to try manual coffee bean roasting as well. Of course there is some small shopping of local products possible, the roasted almonds are addictive. :-) cards are accepted :-) Both owners are very friendly and nice :-) parking on the premises free of charge. Highly recommend :-)

Visited as part of the LCT Gran Canaria Highlights Tour. Plantation and visitors shop very interesting. Host - YULIA, was superb - you’ll not fail to learn interesting stuff about Aloe Vera properties, quality and production - this is not a sales pitch, just quality and concise information. Definitely recommend!! Thanks YULIA (Aloe Vera Plantation) and thanks SIMON (LCT Gran Canaria).

Very informative about the Aloe Vera plant and its properties for health. The shop was well stocked and attractive and the people not pushy for sales.
