The other side of Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria, being the most popular of all the Canary Islands, is known for its party-scene. However, tourists should not miss all the beautiful calm places the island also has to offer.
Gran Canaria’s landscape varies from desert, like dunes, over pinewoods to ~2000m high mountains in the centre of the island. The big variety of landscapes available on this relatively small island invites visitors to go hiking or even to discover by backpacking.
In additon, the cathedral of Santa Ana and the boulevard Calle Mayor de Triana in Las Palmas, the capital of the island, are very popular destinations for culture-interested visitors.
The Palmitos Park near Maspalomas is a beautiful botanical garden which also acommodates monkeys, crocodiles, an orchid house, an aquarium with different species of fishes and coral displays, and Europe’s largest butterfly house.
