Description Nestled high in the heart of Gran Canaria?s rugged mountains is the tiny hamlet of La Lechuza, and here you will find Hotel Rural Las Calas ? once a 17th century manor house, now a cosy country inn. Renovated in 1999, the inn is a comfortable mix of traditional Spanish furnishing and African flair, with rooms built around a verdant central garden. Your neighbours are the productive farmers of this rich agricultural region ? the weekend market at the nearby village of La Vega de San Mateo will be filled with their juicy peaches, pears and fresh-picked greens. Fill your basket, then head to one of the many picnic/barbeque spots that offer terrific views, including the spectacular sweep of the Tejeda Basin. Nature lovers will be pleased to know the the hotel is located close to the protected areas of the Cumbre and Pino Santo, rich in ecosystems and birdlife. Sporty types are well-placed for hiking, mountain-bike and horse-riding excursions. And afterwards, the whirlpool that's part of the newly installed outdoor pool is a perfect place to soothe those sore muscles...

Dining
The philosophy of Las Calas is ?Rediscover Sensations? and that applies most specifically to the sense of taste. The Canarian / Mediterranean cuisine is based on farm-fresh not store-bought food. Vegetables (potatoes, lettuce) and fruit (plums, oranges, apples) are grown in the garden; eggs, milk and other organic products are purchased from farmers in the hamlet.
Magui?s menus for supper are wide?ranging but will usually include the Canarian favourite Papas Arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), potatoes boiled with their skin in seawater, dipped into two olive oil based sauces: the mojo picón (spicy sauce) and the mojo verde (green sauce). Try the most typical of all Canary dishes, Sancocho Canario, a salt fish and potato stew and finish with local goat cheese or fresh fruit... there'll be plenty more at breakfast.
