Places to see in ( Canary Islands - Spain ) Pico de las Nieves
Pico de las Nieves is the highest peak of the island of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. Its height is 1,949 metres above sea level. The origin is volcanic. On its slopes, Canary Islands Pine was reintroduced in the 1950s.
It is the highest elevation of the province of Las Palmas and the third highest mountain in the Canary Islands. Of the other Canary Islands, only Tenerife and La Palma have higher peaks. The name means 'peak of the snows' in Spanish and refers to the fact that several covered pits (neveras in Spanish) for holding snow were built directly into the mountainsides.
Most of the highest plateau is occupied by a military base, including a large ball-shaped radar. Civilian visitors are allowed to enter a platform somewhat below the base, from which half of the island as well as Tenerife's Pico del Teide is visible, in case of good weather. The most distinctive feature is the Roque Nublo monolith, the second highest peak of the island. The peak could be accessed by a car, as there is a road used by the army. The peak is located between the municipalities of Tejeda, Vega de San Mateo and San Bartolome de Tirajana.

Balcón Mirador de Unamuno Artenara Gran Canaria
El Balcón de Unamuno fue construido en 1999 en el marco de la apertura de la Ruta de Unamuno en Gran Canaria para conmemorar la estancia de Unamuno en la isla, en 1910. En el mirador existe una escultura del insigne escritor y filósofo, obra de Manolo González, que representa a don Miguel de Unamuno en actitud contemplativa del paisaje.
El espectáculo es imponente. Todas aquellas negras murallas de la gran caldera, con sus crestas, que parecen almenas, con sus roques enhiestos, ofrecen el aspecto de una visión dantesca. No otra cosa pueden ser las calderas del Infierno que visitó el florentino. Es una tremenda conmoción de las entrañas de la tierra; parece todo una tempestad petrificada, pero una tempestad de fuego, de lava, más que de agua.”
Miguel de Unamuno

JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA
Pocos lugares en España gozan de un reconocimiento internacional como el que disfruta Jerez. Gracias a su vino -el jerez o sherry-, la tradición ecuestre y taurina, el flamenco y el motor, el nombre de esta ciudad andaluza hace mucho tiempo que traspasó fronteras.
Hasta sus alrededores llegaron los fenicios hace 3.000 años para fundar la colonia llamada Xera, la ciudad que mas tarde se llamó Ceret bajo el dominio romano, y Sheres o Xeres cuando fue fortaleza árabe. Con los Reyes Católicos se inició el próspero comercio de sus famosos vinos con los ingleses.
Los musulmanes dejaron una honda huella en la ciudad, como el trazado urbanístico de los barrios enclavados en el corazón de la antigua medina árabe: San Lucas y San Mateo, que acoge su iglesia homónima, la Plaza del Mercado (sede del Museo Arqueológico) y el Palacio Riquelme.
