Ingenio
Gran Canaria
Ingenio es un municipio canario perteneciente a la provincia de Las Palmas. Está situado en el sureste de la isla de Gran Canaria y acoge, junto con el vecino municipio de Telde, al Aeropuerto Internacional de Gran Canaria.
El nombre de Ingenio se debe a los molinos de azúcar, industria dominante de la zona.
Ingenio alberga el Festival Internacional de Folklore. Es muy popular y participan numerosos grupos internacionales, incluidos grupos de México, Colombia, Rumanía, Rusia, Uganda, etc. La ciudad tiene un interesante museo de piedras y trabajos manuales, con demostraciones de su fabricación en directo, el Museo de Piedra y Artesanía. Ingenio también alberga la impresionante Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria
Característico de la zona es el valle de Guayadeque. En el Barranco de Guayadeque, los visitantes pueden disfrutar de numerosas cuevas naturales y artificiales, utilizadas por los Guanches como cementerios o minas. El museo de Guayadeque tiene una exhibición de como era el Barranco de Guayadeque en los tiempos prehispánicos.
