Introducing Gran Canaria

With only a 50km (31 mile) diameter, Gran Canaria is really not so ‘gran’ – but it’s packed with things to do and see for adventurers, pleasure-seekers and families. Here at the southernmost part of Europe, you’ll discover a land that’s a little bit Europe, a little bit Africa and something else entirely.

The vast dunes of Maspalomas might make you think you’re in the Sahara. Certainly, there are camels to take you into the rolling, golden sands accompanied by their Saharawi guides. If you prefer your desert activities more frenetic, you can also explore the area by off-road jeep or 4x4 buggy.

Las Palmas is a wonderful base from which to explore. Quite apart from the great nightlife and restaurants, there are plenty of attractions. Pueblo Canario is a recreation of a traditional Canarian village, complete with historical costumes, live music and cultural insights. The town has also been the location for a number of movies (Wild Oats, Moby Dick, Allied) and there are tours taking you to the different places that featured on-screen.

For something really different, visit Sioux City, a Western-themed theme park in San Bartolome de Tirajana. Set in a cactus-dotted canyon, the park perfectly replicates the American Wild-West with fun shows, presentations and non-lethal shootings that will entertain kids and provide wry amusement for their parents. Alternatively, strap on a backpack and head off into the stunning interior for some excellent hiking. Roque Nubio is a notable geological formation whose views are definitely worth the walk.
