Tafira, Protected landscape in Telde and Santa Brígida, Spain.

The protected area extends over 1,413 hectares between the municipalities of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Brígida, and Telde in northeastern Gran Canaria.

The Spanish government established Tafira as a protected landscape through Law 12/1994 of December 19, 1994, incorporating it into the Canary Islands Network of Protected Natural Spaces.

Traditional wine production continues in the area with vineyards, wineries, and wine presses, while the La Atalaya pottery center maintains local crafting traditions.

Marked hiking paths connect various points of interest throughout the protected area, including the Bandama Peak viewpoint and the Viera y Clavijo Botanical Garden.

The landscape contains sixty species of invertebrates found exclusively in Gran Canaria, including specific beetles and flies that inhabit this protected environment.
