Things to do in Gran Canaria

Nicknamed 'the mini-continent' for its ecological diversity, Gran Canaria is the ideal destination for those with a penchant for getting out and about. Whether you're hoping to delve into deep ravines, climb trails into cool pine forests or just seek shade under a beach umbrella, you'll likely run out of time before you run out of options. Take a private Gran Canaria tour and explore this Spanish island with a local guide. Though famous for its beach-friendly temperatures, there's more here than playas and cervezas, so have your guide arrange an excursion that showcases the island's biodiversity. Don't miss the Barranco de Guayadeque or the Dunas de Maspalomas, a surreal seaside desert at the island's south tip. Gran Canaria is also rich in cultural treasures. Not far from Las Palmas you'll find the Cenobio de Valeron, an ancient communal grain store hewn from the rocks. For a glimpse of traditional village life, have your guide stop in tiny Fataga
