GRAN CANARIA

Gran Canaria has diverse possibilities to offer. Starting from the natural, a huge difference can be seen between the north and the south of the island. While the south is rather desert like, the north is covered in beautiful mountain ranges. Along the way many secret and not too touristy places can be discovered. Concerning the activities one can do here, one of the most popular are watersports. Gran Canaria is considered one of the best spots for windsurfing worldwide. Other popular water activities include scuba diving, surfing, or sailing. Another highlight in the waters, south of the island, is the chance to spot dolphins and whales. The pleasant temperature all year round also allows many more activities such as biking, hiking, horseback riding or simply relaxing at the beach. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a vibrant port town and other cities like Arucas or Teror are worth a visit. Historic towns, museums and churches are all awaiting at Gran Canaria Island.
