  This was a great location for our holiday in January.

  This was a great location for our holiday in January. Agaete is not a tourist area but has access to walks from the apartment. Driving into the mountains to see tourist attractions and find other walking routes did take sometime due to the winding mountain roads. Great selection of restaurants and cafes within a short walking distance in the harbour area and a short drive to Sardina Nord for a lovely beach.

  Aguete is only ok, Puerto de las Nieves next to it where the ferry arrives is lovely. I would go there just to eat at Angor fish restaurant on the front by harbour. In fact if I was rich, I would be happy to fly there just to have dinner. There is a reason why it is often full when the ok restaurants neat it are not.

  Accommodation was spotless with all the amenities you need for self catering. Hot tub was superb in the evening watching the sun set. a good location to explore the top on the island and very easy to visit Las Palmas. A car is a must to enjoy the full delights that the north has to offer and with your own underground parking space it was very safe if returning late at night knowing you wont struggle with parking.

  If you want to get a bit more remote and not in the high rise this is your spot. In the old town there's a few places to eat, don't leave it too lateen a Sunday or there's not much open. The port is fine, plenty of restaurants you'd expect on the quay. Loved the swim pools, discovered them on our second last day & would have used them and the promenade more had I known! The road south is great fun with epic views, but not for the faint hearted with tiny windy roads and potential rock falls if it's been raining. Nice spot, nearby coffee plantations a great day trip.

  Fish restaurants in the Puerto area are all brilliant.

  Fish restaurants in the Puerto area are all brilliant. Agaete town is quiet and sleepy, but lovely. Excellent coffee at the bakery. the Huertas de las Flores is a gorgeous and lush oasis of amazing trees and flowers. the municipal library is a wonderful community space. Excellent location and starting point for some really good hikes. Local public transport is really good. We took the local bus to Los Berrazales coffee place (finca la Laja), then walked back along the valley floor ('el valle' or 'el barranco'). Perfect place for a quiet holiday - lots of other visitors, but it is not a 'big resort' kind of place, just people who come for hiking and very good fresh fish!

  Agaete has a magical spirit, which is hard to describe rationally. In the compact and pretty town center is a wide range of cafés, bars and restaurants. Narrow streets elevate the whole slope up to the topmost view. Often there is some music festival in the town. Surrounding mountain are always visible, being a background for small beautiful places that are worth to seek for. Neighbouring port town offers beaches, natural piscinas and more bars and cafés. Supermarket is located practically halfway between, together with a closed bath (also suitable for children) and gorgeous Hondo café, which would be a mistake not to visit. Agaete is easy to reach by car using highway, which is currently being extended further south. However, bus services are poor in speed due to detouring to many villages along the highway and often delayed, and most of all too infrequent except for the line to Las Palmas.
