Background (Monte Leon, Gran Canaria)
Monte Leon has a privileged location – set 400 metres above sea level, you can live here in absolute peace and tranquillity, surrounded by the serene Canarian countryside and still be close to everything you need.

As you approach Monte Leon you’ll pass through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Gran Canaria - spectacular volcanoes dotted with palm trees and Canarian pine.

Away from the noise of the city, at this altitude the only sounds you’ll hear are the birds performing their merry little tunes. Up here, there’s spectacular views out over the rest of Gran Canaria and the Atlantic Ocean. Hovering above you’ll see many exotic species of birds that come from the nearby subtropical oasis of Palmitos Park.

The fresh mountain air and breathtaking views are all part of Monte León’s charm.

This private paradise location has attracted many of the world’s rich and famous, who come here to enjoy Gran Canaria’s year-round sunshine, away from the crowds.

Justus Frantz, the famous musician, owns a villa here. Monte Leon has also attracted people like Leonard Bernstein and former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt.

Although you get the feeling of complete isolation and privacy here, in this hidden oasis you’re still very close to civilisation. Just down the road there’s shops, bars, restaurants, beaches, golf courses etc.

Cardenas Real Estate
Cardenas Real Estate was founded back in 1980 by Antonio García de Cárdenas and his wife Rolande Chagrin Chevènement. The couple have been living in Monte Leon for several years now and know the area and the market incredibly well.

With a strict no-hard-sales approach, this family run business is widely regarded as one of the most reputable and trustworthy in Gran Canaria.

Extracts from a recent interview with Antonio Garcia De Cardenas
By Barrie Mahoney

“In Monte León, you feel as though you were in another world, and yet the area is well connected and everything is just a few minutes’ drive away – shopping centres, restaurants, beaches, golf courses, you name it”.

“Monte León is an island within an island. Here, you can get away from the crowds and the stress of daily life and be more in touch with nature”…

”the natural beauty and wildlife are safeguarded and the area will never be overdeveloped as you see elsewhere on Gran Canaria”.

Now officially retired, Antonio Garcia finally has more time to enjoy and continue to develop his home in beautiful Monte Leon. His passion for life and his love of Gran Canaria, as you can see, are as strong as ever.
