Welcome to Gran Canaria!
Since the arrival of the first inhabitants to the Canary Islands, our land has been a land of hospitality; where all people feel welcome. The Canary Islands, the Fortunate Islands, represent a paradise where spring never ends, a place where volcanoes, the ocean and the wind have created a unique environment and landscape. In the Canary Islands you can not only enjoy paradisiacal beaches, but also volcanic landscapes, thermophilic forests, deserts, high mountains and deep valleys, typical villages in which our culture and traditions are still preserved.
But also of our gastronomy so characteristic: papas arrugas, gofio, fish… Our music and our instruments, our artistic expression. We canaries feel lucky to live in this land that gives us our identity and our most representative characteristic: friendliness and joy.

Gran Canaria undoubtedly stands out among all the other islands for the variety of its landscapes and climates; also for the enormous historical, cultural and archaeological heritage it possesses. Indeed, we have to point out that 56% of the territory is considered a biosphere reserve; as well to having one of the most important UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world, with an area of almost 10,000 Ha.
There are many ways to discover Gran Canaria; and it literally takes a lifetime to get to know all its corners and secrets. For example: You can relax on our golden sand beaches, walk through the kilometers of dunes in Maspalomas, enjoy a family day in Mogán or Amadores, or water sports in Puerto Rico. If you like urban plans, a visit to Las Palmas is essential. You can enjoy a rum tasting in Arucas, or discover the only coffee plantation in Europe in Agaete.
