Excursions at Gran Canaria

The island of Gran Canaria is commonly known by the “miniature continent” on account of the natural environment that the island offers to visitors and inhabitants. There are inexhaustible opportunities to discover the verdant landscapes of the interior or the spectacular areas along the coast, for example on a Mountain-bike, on the back of a Horse or a Camel, in a Jeep or by Bus. You also have the possibility to discover the island from a helicopter ... or just spend a beautiful relaxing day on the sea …
