– have a look here what can you see and do in Gran Canaria ?
Known as a “continent in miniature”, Gran Canaria is the third largest island in the Canary Islands and has an insane amount to offer to whoever visits. The terrain varies drastically depending on where you are on the island, from desert to mountainous to green, which creates the feeling of constant change. There is a mystery to this island, a feeling of hidden gems and still-undiscovered places just waiting to be explored. By car, it is easy to get a decent look at the entire island in three days. It is equally possible to do so by bus but will only take more time out of your Gran Canaria vacation to do so.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is an exciting place to stay on the island. A bustling and vibrant port town, Las Palmas is the picture of multiculturalism and acts as a melting pot of African, Chinese, Indian and mainland-Spanish cultures, resulting in delicious and diverse cuisines. The city has been characterized as enjoying “the best climate in the world” and is home to Playa de Las Canteras, which is considered one of the best beaches in the world. For more of a relaxing vibe and historical tourism, all one needs to do is travel up north to Arucas where the city center has been declared a site of historic-artistic interest.
It is absolutely no secret, Gran Canaria boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, easily making it a number one beach vacation hot spot for tourists. However, don’t be blinded by that beauty and forget to explore the other natural charms of the island. There is so much to see on this “miniature continent” and it would be a shame to get stuck on only one aspect of it.
A good way to marvel at the island is to take a jeep safari to the less accessible parts of the area. A popular destination is the Natural Reserve of the Dunes of Maspalomas, which is an area that provides a great photo opportunity for you to pretend to be in a movie like The Mummy or Lawrence of Arabia. Roque Nubolo, a 250-foot monolith, and the Cueva Pintada, a very significant archaeological park in the Canary Islands, are sites that illustrate the natural phenomenon of the island.
Diving is another excellent exploration tool, because of its pleasant temperatures, Gran Canaria is the perfect diving spot. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced diver, you will appreciate the visibility of the marine life underwater; colorful fish and seahorses and schools of barracuda are easy to spot depending on how close to the shore you are. For easier access to the lush environment, the local government recently began restoring old footpaths that meander through the interior of the island and connect the old villages, in order to make it easier for tourists to enjoy Gran Canaria’s unique atmosphere.
For nightlife, Playa del Ingles, is the place to be, particularly the Yumbo Center, which is a gay-friendly clubbing town. Close to the Playa del Ingles resides San Agustin, which has a community with a great Swedish connection and is therefore home to many Swedish bars and restaurants and shops.
