Gran Canaria: the continent in miniature
This nickname was given to it because of the great diversity of its landscapes, despite its small size. Between its magnificent forests, steep cliffs, green spaces, dunes and beaches, you won't know where to look first. So why not try a camel ride on the dune side of Maspalomas Park. This adventure will remind you of your hiking trips in the deserts of Arab countries, where the sand stretches as far as the eye can see with the sea in the background.
During your stopover in Gran Canaria, veer off on an excursion through the rugged landscape of the Arteara ravine. You can take the opportunity to visit a few monuments, such as one of the oldest bakeries on the island or the oldest communal wash house.
The northern part of the island also has some nice surprises in store for lovers of ecotourism. History buffs will revel in their stroll through the capital. Las Palmas is home to a number of historical monuments, such as the Santa Ana cathedral.
Gran Canaria by water
But Gran Canaria is especially renowned for its idyllic beaches. During a short sea trip, you will find charming anchorages on the side of Playa del Ingelés in the Mapalomas. The beaches of Puerto de Mogán, San Agustín and Puerto Rico are perfect for those who love swimming and relaxing.
Unconditional lovers of sport fishing will also find what they are looking for in Gran Canaria. The diversity of its aquatic fauna will offer you the opportunity to make some very nice catches. Sailing enthusiasts will be free to veer towards their passion.
