![]() Fataga71 photos from Fataga 2022-02-28 Fataga is a village in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana on the island of Gran Canaria. The village can trace its origins back for more than 2000 years, when the area was inhabited by the Guanche natives. Fataga is a very popular day-trip destination for holidaymakers staying in the coastal regions of Gran Canaria. It is a characteristic village of the island, with its old narrow lanes paved with stones and famous historic Canarian houses. It is a candidate for a listing as World Heritage Site. The village is in Fataga ravine (barranco de Fataga), an environment of brown rocks strewn with green known as the `valley of the thousand palms`. The church, dedicated to St. José, was built in 1880. In the period up to the present day new farms and houses were built, often growing fruits such as oranges, lemons, apricots and grapes. However the population of the village has now dropped to around 265. Fataga has three restaurants, tourist areas, one of the oldest bakeries on the island and a watermill. Little artisan shops can be found near the church as much as near the bakery. We visited Fataga during the Gran Canaria Highlights Tour in the winter of 2022.
