La Cesta is much more than just a viewpoint in the heights of Tejeda. This emblematic meeting point, open 24 hours a day year-round, has become one of the most beloved and photographed spots in Gran Canaria. The story behind this basket is truly touching: designed by Portuguese artist Rita Loureiro da Silva during a Plastic Arts Symposium, the Tejeda Town Hall chose to place it at this privileged location as a tribute to a local family.

What makes La Cesta special are its spectacular views of Roque Nublo, one of the island's most iconic natural landmarks. Visitors find here a structure specifically designed for taking photos without assistance, making it easy to capture that perfect moment with the majestic rock formation in the background. Located right on the GC-60 road, this must-stop destination combines art, nature, and history in one place, being especially magical during local celebrations like almond blossom day.
