Arucas is at its most lively during the summer period that runs from Spring until Autumn. Temperatures tend to reach the high 20s throughout these summer months. However, a visit in the off-season might suit you if you want to visit some of the hiking trails outside of the intense sun of summer. However, most of the tourist activities take place during the summer months so we recommend a visit within this period.

The cathedral of San Juan Bautista should definitely be towards the top of your to-do list if you are visiting Arucas. This neo-Gothic church which took a staggering 70 years to construct has a Sagrada Familia look to it with its elaborate pointed spires.
