North Gran Canaria: Cliffs, Villages & Atlantic views

**Discover the Wild North of Gran Canaria** Gran Canaria is often called a “miniature continent” because an extraordinary variety of landscapes and climates can be found within a relatively small island. The north is one of its most dramatic regions, where rugged cliffs meet the Atlantic and the ocean reveals its wildest side.

You’ll discover how local communities adapted to the terrain, cultivating crops, raising livestock, managing scarce water resources and making a living from the sea.
