History (https://www.grancanariaregional.com/list/azuaje-ravine/)
It was built in 1868 in a location next to a clean water source. its waters had mineral properties thanks to its high content of iron, silicates, hydrosulphides.
it was closed during the Spanish Civil War.
The ruin, located at the car park, used to be a famous bath connected to a hotel in the 1900s. The first tourists visited this hotel and spa from the north of Europe, where the waters were rumored to have curative and healing properties.
Whilst the old spa now lies dry, the Azuaje Ravine has water running through all year round. The steepness of the ravine walls makes it the deepest ravine in the north of Gran Canaria. The presence of the running water all year round, and the sheer walls that limit natural light, produce an abundance of unique plant and tree life. As such this gorgeous ravine with its extraordinary biological wealth has been declared a Nature Reserve and is a Special Conservation Area.
The Explore
Explored during a holiday to gran canaria, not an easy drive down.... good job it was only a hire car so I could drive it through trees and down cliff edges without worry.
what a great way to enjoy a day, through mountins and trees we find this gem hidden away. although there is not much left it is still beautiful due to the location and how nature has taken over.
