SITUATION

Valleseco is a lovely green region of Gran Canaria, located 7 kms. center-north of Teror and 28 kms. from the capital. It is formed by two main canyons: Barranco de la Virgen and Barranco de Madrelagua, and a not so "Seco" (dry) central valley ("valle"), for which receives its paradoxical name the town.

At an altitude of 1000m. above sea level, Valleseco often appears wrapped in a "sea of clouds", which helps to bring out it's intense green landscape characteristics.
