When you arrive at La Tejana you will find a hundred-year-old rural house located in the neighborhood of El Palmar (Teror, Gran Canaria), inside the 'Parque Rural de Doramas', in the middle of a garden that is at the foot of the peak of Osorio and surrounded by hills and mountains.
The tranquility of the place, the kindness and hospitality of its people and the wonderful nature that surrounds the house, allows us to offer you what you like most: an alternative, quiet and healthy space, which invites you to practice yoga and meditation, walk or simply to dedicate to yourself the time that you deserve.
On the other hand, and taking advantage of the "continent in miniature" in which we live, you have the opportunity to know the rest of the island.
Our philosophy is to welcome you in our home as if you were someone from our family. We also form a small group (maximum 7 people) to be able to assist you in a personal and close way.
Whether you prefer coming alone, with your family or with a group of friends, we can also customize your vacation or retreat. Just contact us and we will create a program adapted to your needs.
In La Tejana we are animal lovers and therefore we understand the need that many people have to go on vacation accompanied by their best friends. For this reason we have decided that our guests will be able to travel with their dogs provided that a series of rules are complied with so as not to inconvenience and hinder the coexistence with the other companions of the stay. On the other hand, understanding that the environment is not the most appropriate, we feel we cannot accommodate dogs whose breed is classified as potentially dangerous, cats or other pets.
For all the guests to enjoy a quiet and pleasant stay, the dogs that come on holiday to La Tejana must meet a series of indispensable requirements both for their admission and for their stay:
CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION
- Be sociable since they will spend the day in freedom with our dog Noa and the rest of our guests.
- Have the vaccination card in order, including the cough vaccine in the kennels.
- Have deworming treatments up to date.
- Have a microchip.
- The person listed as the owner in the booklet must be the person who makes the reservation. Otherwise, you must provide a document in which the dog owner authorizes the person making the reservation.
CONDITIONS OF STAY
- Dogs will live in the outside of the house, sharing space with our dog Noa. Under no circumstances may they remain inside the home.
- The owner of each dog will be responsible for their food, hygiene, safety and walks.
- Dogs can accompany their owners only to hiking activities.
- The owner will be responsible for the physical and / or material damage that the dog could cause both inside and outside the house.
IMPORTANT
*If you plan to come with your dog, you must notify us at the time you make the reservation.
** We recommend protecting the dog at least 3 days before its arrival against canine filariasis, since the mosquito that transmits this disease is common in the Canary Islands. For more information on how to protect your dog consult your veterinarian.
In La Tejana we offer a wide range of activities, specified in our planning , that will make your vacation an enriching experience.
Apart from the daily practice of yoga and meditation, you can enjoy nature walks in which you will disconnect completely; you will make visits to know different parts of the island and workshops that will show you other aspects related to yoga and your well-being.
In La Tejana we organize retreats continuously throughout the year. Check in the "Next dates" section, the dates to join our retreat.
In addition, during the year we usually propose different offers of special retreats focused on themes such as mindfulness, hiking, alternative tourism, etc.
Our offer of alternative holidays will allow you to unwind and rest, as well as taking advantage of the opportunity to get to know a little more about the island of Gran Canaria.
After several years going to retreats in search of something different, from the heart and with great enthusiasm, the idea of La Tejana, our house arises. Here we wanted to unify all the good that we have found and also what we would have liked to find: on the one hand, disconnection, serenity and tranquility and on the other, enjoying a natural environment, knowing new places, making new friendships, receiving a warm and familiar treatment and even practicing yoga with local people. All this without forgetting the fun part that boasts in any holiday period.
When we decided to launch La Tejana project we did it with the conviction that we should offer an alternative space, linked to ecotourism, focused on a healthy life, immersed in nature and from there, offer activities and workshops that make your experience in La Tejana something comforting and unforgettable.
In La Tejana we are very committed to the environment. We know the fragility of our ecosystem and we firmly believe that the best way to take care of it is to try to leave the minimum impact on it. In the Canary Islands there are almost half of the species of endemic flora of Spain and a large number of animal species that have the same condition; it is for this reason that we follow some norms that allow us to live in harmony with our natural environment:
