Sustainability finds a home in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria has been awarded the demanding ‘Biosphere Destination’ seal, also earning a spot in the top fifteen European destinations with the most certified accommodation.

Gran Canaria takes care of you and itself. The island embraces its primary sector and invites us all to eat local produce. It also raises awareness on responsible water use and caring for natural resources, from its oceans and beaches to its forests and summits. These are examples of a global commitment which implicates not only public administrations but also the private sector. For a while now, all Gran Canaria’s paths have been leading to the same place: the need to be an increasingly sustainable tourist destination.

Autumn shines on Gran Canaria

Las Canteras: a fish’s-eye view

I like to rest under the shelter of the Barra de Las Canteras. This natural reef slows the momentum of the Atlantic and provides quiet nights for fish like me. At dawn, when the sun's rays colour the surface shades of pink and purple, I begin to move around the bay and peck at algae with my parrot's beak. At this hour, the early birds of the human variety also begin to make their way into the sea, splashing and swimming as if they were fish themselves.
