Osorio
Osorio is a rural park where you can walk between trees and nature.

You can have a picnic in middle of one of the oldest forest on Earth, the laurisilva, you can also see some agricultural plots, why? Because this huge terrain was owned by a noble called Manrique de Lara.Nowadays it's free entry and you can be there all the day.

It has a big collection of trees of all the world and a lot of toadstools and mushrooms; once there was an exposition of mushroom and you could taste them!!!

You mustn't forget visit it if you come to Gran Canaria, it is a marvelous place!
