Introducing Ingenio & Agüimes

The historic centre of Agüimes is one of the most perfectly restored and prettiest on the island; so much so that the mega-luxury hotel Villa del Conde in Maspalomas is a pastiche of the old town centre. Agüimes’ helpful tourist office (928 12 41 83; www.aguimes.es; Plaza de San Antón 1; Mon-Fri 8am-3pm) has plenty of local information.
