Airport travel guide
One of the two main islands of the famous Spanish archipelago, Gran Canaria is a lovely place to visit. Home to the city of Las Palmas, it also boasts some of the nicest beaches that are accessible by low-cost European air carriers. Here are three of its most notable attractions:
- Maspalomas Dunes. One of the six officially protected areas of the island, Maspalomas can be found at the far southern end of the island. In addition to the captivating desert-like landscapes, the area has some lovely beaches and all-inclusive resorts that are just outside the preserve’s borders. There’s also a botanical garden.
- Las Palmas. Gran Canaria is all about the beach, but its capital can be just as interesting to explore. The largest city in all of the Canary Archipelago, Las Palmas is on the island’s northeastern coast. In addition to having some of Gran Canaria’s most notable architecture and cultural institutions, like the Elder Museum of Science and Technology, Las Palmas is also a prime surfing hub.
- Risco Caído. An archaeological inland site near the island’s western coast, Risco Caido is best known for the ancient cave dwellings that saw some of the earliest human inhabitation on the island, and a site that some even consider a prehistoric observatory. The site can be explored by following the network of surrounding hiking trails that also provide an experience of the area’s cliffs and unique vegetation.

We stayed in an apartment near Firgas, surrounded by eucalyptus forest and cultivated with lemon, lime and avocado trees. Our days were spent walking and sight seeing in the scenic mountains and ravines in the North of the island. The endless twists and turns in the roads made for interesting driving…but worth it!!
We are not beach people so this type of holiday was brilliant.
