Maspalomas, San Mateo, or Tejeda

Check GC-60 or GC-134

Degollada de las Yeguas is approached from the south; Pozos de la Nieve from the summit area. Verify the exact island-owned segment instead of treating general DGT coverage as sufficient.

Choose a southern or summit viewpoint

A viewpoint does not open the wider protected area

The route is limited to the selected public surface. It does not create track, camping, night-trail, or wildfire-closure permission.

Checks before departure

What to recheck before leaving

A documented public arrival does not confirm AEMET, representative air and calima, Cabildo restrictions, current access, or the road. Recheck each source.

Sky conditions only

Before you stargaze

Give your eyes about 10 minutes to adapt to the dark after arrival. Keep flashlights and vehicle lights low for other stargazers.
