FIRGAS

Pleasant little upland Firgas, 'capital' of the smallest municipality in Gran Canaria, is famous throughout the archipelago for its natural spring water: the bottling plant 5km out of town bottles 250,000 liters a day. In the town, whitewashed houses stand round a circular grey fountain. Firgas is also an agricultural community, producing bananas, cereals, fruit, watercress and yams.
