Häufig gestellte Fragen

Its variety: the Maspalomas Dunes, beaches all around the coast, a volcanic mountain interior with Roque Nublo at its heart, and the historic capital, Las Palmas. It is often called a continent in miniature for how many landscapes fit on one island.

On a guided trip or by car. The mountain roads are narrow and winding and public buses to the villages are infrequent, so a tour with transport lets you see several villages and viewpoints in a day without driving the bends yourself.

A basalt rock pillar about 80 metres high near the centre of the island, left behind by ancient volcanic activity. It is Gran Canaria's best-known landmark, reached by a short hike of around half an hour from the nearest road.

Yes. It is a real working city rather than a resort, with the historic Vegueta quarter, the Cathedral of Santa Ana, the Casa de Colón museum and Las Canteras beach. It is also the best place on the island for food and nightlife.

Papas arrugadas (small wrinkled potatoes) with red and green mojo sauces, local goat and sheep cheeses such as queso de flor from Guía, fresh fish, gofio (toasted grain flour), and Arucas rum and honey rum. Bizcochos from Tejeda and almond sweets are the classic village treats.

Any time of year. Winter is mild and popular, spring and autumn are ideal for walking and the mountains, and summer is warm on the coast. The south is usually sunnier than the north.

No. Gran Canaria is the island, and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is its capital city, on the north-east coast. Las Palmas is also the name of the province that includes Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

Gran Canaria is often called a continent in miniature. In a single day you can go from the golden dunes of the south, through pine forests and volcanic craters, to the green valleys and old sugar towns of the north. Its capital, Las Palmas, is a real Atlantic city with a historic old quarter and a long city beach. A local guide helps you see the island beyond the resorts: the mountain villages, the food and wine, and the history that ties it to Columbus and the Americas.

Über Gran Canaria

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the island's capital, was founded in 1478, and its old quarter, Vegueta, is one of the best-preserved colonial centres in the Canaries. Its cobbled streets lead to the Cathedral of Santa Ana and the Casa de Colón, where Christopher Columbus is said to have stopped on his first voyage to the Americas. On the other side of the city, Las Canteras is one of Europe's great city beaches, sheltered by a natural reef.

Inland, the island rises to the Roque Nublo, a basalt monolith that is the symbol of Gran Canaria, and the Pico de las Nieves, its highest point. The mountain villages of Tejeda, Teror and Artenara keep their white houses, wooden balconies and traditional sweets. In the north, Arucas is known for its huge neo-Gothic church and its rum distillery, and the Bandama Caldera is a volcanic crater with a vineyard on its slopes. In the south, the Maspalomas Dunes run down to the sea. Much of the island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Was Sie bei einem Erlebnis in Gran Canaria erwartet

Most visits to Gran Canaria mix a few kinds of day:

Las Palmas: walks through Vegueta and the old town, the cathedral and the Columbus house, and food tours of tapas, local cheeses, papas arrugadas with mojo and the city's markets.
The interior: drives through the mountain villages and viewpoints around Roque Nublo, with stops for rum in Arucas, wine near the Bandama Caldera and lunch in a village restaurant. Hikes in the island's centre are popular in the cooler months.
The coast: the Maspalomas Dunes, boat trips to spot dolphins and whales, and the fishing harbours of Puerto de Mogán and Agaete.

Each tour page lists its exact meeting point, what is included and the languages available on each date.

Beste Reisezeit

Gran Canaria is a year-round destination, with mild weather even in winter, which is why it is so popular from November to March. Spring and autumn are ideal for walking and for the mountains. Summer is warm rather than scorching on the coast, but the south is sunnier and hotter than the north, and the interior can be cool and cloudy while the beaches are in full sun. Bring a layer for the mountains at any time of year.

Fortbewegung

Gran Canaria Airport is on the east coast, about 20 minutes from Las Palmas and half an hour from the southern resorts. Global buses connect the capital, the airport and the main towns. Las Palmas has a good city bus network, and Vegueta is best explored on foot. The mountain roads of the interior are narrow and winding, with few buses to the villages, so most visitors explore the interior on a guided trip or by hire car. The Canary Islands use the euro.
