Gran Canaria



Gran Canaria is often referred to as the 'small continent', because of its extremely varied landscapes that resemble European, African and American regions. At the center of the island is a 2000 m high mountain range that is cut by bizarre canyons.

There are few other places on earth, where you can find so many different landscapes and climatic zones in such a compact area. Gran Canaria includes mountain massifs, desert land, tropical forests and sandy beaches. Most beaches are wide and have good facilities. On Gran Canaria you can bake on the beach while looking at the snow-covered mountain peaks of the island's interior.

The island's capital is Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Other interesting towns include Agaete, Arinaga, Arucas, Gáldar, Guía, Malpais, Mogán, San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Tejeda, Telde and Teror.

Gran Canaria offers countless marvelous beaches. The most important ones include:
