Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is not called a continent in miniature for nothing. It is an island full of contrasts that offers the visitor not only lovely beaches and a mild climate year-round but also peaceful pine forests, barren, desert-like areas and hillsides covered with ferns and flowers.

Huge banana and tomato plantations are just as common features of this diverse landscape as the primordial volcanic craters and jagged mountains that dot the island.
