Gran Canaria is a diverse island, packed full of fine natural landscapes. Landscapes which seem to change around every corner, thanks to the microclimates brought in by the trade winds.

An island of beaches, but also with high mountains, because the interior of Gran Canaria hides away an ocean of mountains, alternating between volcanoes and ravines. Mountains etched out by hikers, with ledges created a long time ago, long before even the first maps were plotted. A little outpost, declared Biosphere Reserve, a place to rest and get away from the hustle and bustle.
Gran Canaria is the perfect place for hiking and active tourism enthusiasts. A little miniature continent, a place to walk and take deep breaths. An island different from any other,that offers you the chance to savour its strange yet diverse natural surroundings, and also close to a sea of fine weather.
