Llanos de la Pez, Mountain campground in Tejeda, Spain.
Llanos de la Pez is a campground located in the mountains of Gran Canaria at approximately 1,700 meters elevation. The site includes wooden cabins with bunk beds, leader accommodations, and tent areas nestled among pine forests that can host up to 150 visitors.
The campground was established by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria to provide recreational opportunities within the island's mountain region. It developed as part of efforts to make the natural mountain environment accessible to visitors.
The camping area serves as a gateway for visitors to observe the Winter Hexagon constellation and participate in traditional Canarian outdoor activities.
The site sits in a location with open sky and minimal artificial light, making it favorable for observing stars at night. The high elevation means temperatures can be cool, especially after sunset, so visitors should bring warm clothing.
The location offers an exceptional view of the Roque Nublo rock formation, which rises above the surrounding area and appears striking at sunrise or sunset. Many visitors are surprised by how close this landmark seems from here, despite being visible from great distances.
