View Cruise DealWithin a few minutes of stepping foot on desirable Gran Canaria, you’ll discover what all the fuss is about. A short walk from Las Palmas harbour leads you straight to the beach of Playa de Las Canteras. An urban backdrop offers everything you might need for an impromptu sunbathe, while the spacious promenade affords you a leisurely stroll as you choose the perfect spot on which to unwind. Keep walking to discover the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, a masterpiece of modern architecture and home to the Las Palmas Philharmonic Orchestra. Take a guided tour of this impressive venue - or perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to pick up tickets and catch a rousing performance.
An hour from Las Palmas, on the particularly sunny south coast, is a vast expanse of undulating sand dunes known as Maspalomas Natural Dune Reserve. An uninhabited desert up until 150 years ago, the area is now a haven for sun seekers and surfers. Overlooking the western end is the 19th-century Faro de Maspalomas lighthouse which still guides ships on the correct path.
Make your way inland to experience the history and geological diversity of the island. Much of the terrain is a scenic reminder of its natural past, such as the perfectly formed Bandama Caldera and the iconic Roque Nublo monolith. Enjoy breathtakingly beautiful views from the highest points of these rural parks and monuments or take a thrilling 4x4 adventure over rugged mountains and arid moonscapes. Look out for
