Detailed itinerary
1
Our first beauty is a small black volcanic sand beach surrounded by a charming small town. Feel the tranquility of the locals and discover the uniqueness of the cave houses. This place is not found by searching, but by you.
2
Dicover emblematic buildings and history in the main square of the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and get unique tricks and tips for your beautiful photographs. On this tour we only visit the square and its surroundings, not the entire old town!
3
Admire the religious center of Gran Canaria, the town of Teror. The basilica houses the island's patron saint. Here we will also find one of the most beautiful streets in Gran Canaria. The traditional Canarian wooden balconies are particularly impressive. A short walk through the romantic streets will surely help you to experience the peaceful and stress-free life of the Canarian people.
4
We drive to the geographical center of the island. The magnificent view makes us feel as if we are floating between the mountains of the island.
5
Following our drive we will make a stop at this viewpoint. If we have good weather we can enjoy a "little" surprise here, the highest peak in Spain.
6
Walking above the clouds? Explore the highest point of Gran Canaria. The views from the peak are stunning! In clear weather the Teide on Tenerife is clearly visible (the highest peak in Spain), as are many peaks on Gran Canaria itself, for example the Roque Nublo.
7
Stop 7
Visit the 7th highlight of the tour: Roque Nublo (no hike). One of Gran Canaria’s most iconic sights.
Roque Nublo is usually a hiking adventure — but on this tour, we DO NOT hike up! We stop at a stunning viewpoint near the monument, so you can soak up the legendary rock formation, crisp mountain air, and breathtaking views with zero effort. Big wow-factor. Zero climbing. No sweat required.
