More Information on Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is part of the Canary Islands and is the second most populous island on the archipelago (just behind Tenerife). It has been a part of Spain since the 15th Century and is of volcanic origin, although the island’s volcanoes now lie dormant. Tourism is of course the island’s main industry — Gran Canaria welcomes around 4 million tourists every year (it’s only beaten by Tenerife). The island is often called a ‘mini-continent’ thanks to its variety of different climates and habitats located in such a small area. The nature on offer in Gran Canaria is truly spellbinding and is perfect to explore with a few friends on a walk or hike.
