Geography
[edit ]It is in the north-west of Gran Canaria island, and is enclosed by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Gáldar to the north-east, and Artenara to the south. Agaete's area is 45.50 km2 (17.57 sq mi)[1] with a population of 5,796 (2003).[3]
Tourism
[edit ]The port of Agaete, Puerto de las Nieves, used to be the preferred place to get a view of El Dedo de Dios, a natural monument on the coastline, before the latter was destroyed during tropical storm Delta in November 2005. The port is a common end point for day tours from more touristic areas of the island.
Archaeology
[edit ]El Maipes necropolis is on the outskirts of the town, in the south-east near the football ground.
