The municipality of Arucas is situated on the north coast of the island, 12 kilometres from the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

To get to the city, visitors should take the Northern Road GC-2 and follow the coast to the turn off, where signs will tell you how to get to the city centre (GC-20). This is an easy trip along a good dual carriageway, so the journey from Las Palmas can be done in approximately 15 minutes.

Finally, you can choose bus number 210 to Arucas, passing through the district of Cardones.
