Playa de San Nicol\u00e1s is located on the west coast of Gran Canaria in the municipality of La Aldea de San Nicol\u00e1s. This small coastal settlement essentially consists of the harbour area, the beach zone and the seafront promenade. From here, this short circular walk to Degollada de El Perchel Aldea begins. The surroundings are characterised by the close interplay between the coast and the steeply rising mountains of the western part of the island, which give the region its particularly rugged character. In the immediate vicinity of the small community lies one of Gran Canaria’s most significant pre-Hispanic archaeological sites: the archaeological ensemble of Lomo de los Caserones.
