4 Puertas near Telde
genevievegranni, 11:55h
Another sunday afternoon and a local friend showed us some hidden gems of the island.
It was very windy and cloudy that day, but it made the view even more spectacular.
First of all we went to Cuatro Puertas.

The Cuatro Puertas archaeological site is located in Montaña Bermeja only 3 kilometers away from the Telde city centre on the island of Gran Canaria.
The Cuatro Puertas is a hand-excavated cove of an old volcanic cone with 300 meters high.
Here you might find one of the most amazing deposits in Gran Canaria, already considered Historic-Artistic Monument since 1972. It was named Cuatro Puertas, Four Doors, due to its most important characteristic, the four main entrances that lead to a wide room. You might also see some enigmatic signs carved on the walls that, still nowadays, represent a mystery to all the experts, even though it’s believed this was used as a temple for religious acts.
