- Driving and hiking to see all the hidden spots of the island.
- Roque Nublo peak, Ruta de la Plata, Bajada de Faneque Tamadaba.
- Whale and dolphin watching from a private boat.
"Gran Canaria is the second most populous island of the Canary Islands..." (c) Wikipedia – and the second of Canarian treasures we've discovered after Tenerife. Probably the most balanced trip in our experience – a week of rather intense food consumption, mountain hiking, roadtripping and beachwise donothingness 😄.
Best time to go is Spring, just before the season starts. The island is a lush blossoming garden, not yet that crowded and rather affordable, but can be chilling at night. Don't hesitate to ask me questions!
