Gran Canaria

Also known as the 'continent in miniature,' Gran Canaria is famous for its stark contrasts. On a single day, you can enjoy the marvelous beaches surrounded by dunes and climb the pine-covered peaks of the Canary Islands, with their greenery striking against the dark ground of the volcano.

Along the way, you'll encounter steep ravines, valleys, dramatic rock formations and craters, amazing cliffs, and more. Incredible places you can see from hiking trails. Or you can also see the island by car or public transport, as Gran Canaria has a well-protected road network.

Like the other Canary Islands, it is blessed with an enviable climate, an eternal spring that invites you to experience the rich natural and scenic diversity intensely. The vibrant, cosmopolitan city is home to one of the best gems the island has to offer, and that also surprises visitors.

The beaches at Gran Canaria are stunningly beautiful, with enough to suit all tastes: big, lively, quiet, coves with golden or dark sand or volcanic rocks, etc. The island is home to one of the best urban beaches in Europe.
