Gran
Canaria's most appealing attributes are the huge variety of cultures
and landscapes that are on display. The dynamic qualities that have
created this unique island continue to attract the rich and famous
from all over the world. The majority of visitors to gran Canaria
are attracted to the resorts around the south coast, the most popular
of which are, Puerto Rico, Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas with it’s
awesome landscape of magnificent sand dunes. Fun seekers will discover
the availability of a vast range of activities across these resorts
including skydiving, horse riding, helicopter tours and submarine
trips. Away from the south coast visitors can experience the cultures
and lifestyles that are common to gran Canaria at one of the many
towns and cities that have developed on the island. Galdar, in the
north, was the capital of gran Canaria until 1483 and it continues
to be a significant centre of commerce. The historic architecture
visible in Galdar is also evident further south in Arucas where visitors
will encounter the spectacular Parish Church of San Juan Bautista.
The town of Telde on the east coast has the widest
shoreline on gran Canaria ranging from golden sands to coarse
pebbles surrounded by a number of attractive historic buildings
including windmills and lighthouses. The nearby municipality of
Ingenio is the location for Guayadaque, a stunning national park
that boasts amazing views of the mountains, and green valleys
dominating the landscape.
The
Caves of Barranco de Guayadeque are located on the eastern edge
of the mountains and are currently in use by the local people who
have converted them into houses. A particularly remarkable example
is the cave system that has been carved into a village, complete
with cobbled walkways, a church, bar and street lamps. In the west
of gran Canaria is San Nicholas de Tolentino, an area of outstanding
natural beauty, which offers a rich artistic and archaeological
heritage. Whilst the mountainous regions inland present the opportunity
to discover idyllic typically Canarian villages set in dramatic
scenery such as Santa Lucia, Terjede and San Bartolome de Tirajana.
