Valle Gran Rey — complete guide

<p>Series of villages cascading down lush valley from mountains to sea on southwest coast. Arure: upper valley, traditional, Mirador de César Manrique (El Palmarejo). La Calera: main village with shops/restaurants. Vueltas: port area, fishing boats, waterfront restaurants. La Playa/La Puntilla: beach area, surf, stunning sunsets. Hippie legacy from 1970s-80s: yoga, vegetarian, relaxed vibe. If San Sebastián is the brain, Valle Gran Rey is the soul.</p>
