Imagine running into a crossroads right in the middle of the ocean. A very unusual spot in the middle of the sea, where Europeans, Africans, and Americans run across each other. A stopping place for travellers from a thousand different corners, people who speak, dress, and think differently.

Such rare cocktail, slowly distilled for centuries, is reflected on the corners, streets, and buildings of Gran Canaria. And also in its cuisine, music, and even traits of its people.

A rare cocktail stirred with a mix of fortune seekers, voyagers on line cruisers enroute to southern Africa, searchers of fine weather, nature lovers, pirates, adventurers trying to reach new continents, or simply good weather…

All have left their mark on an island at a crossroads. A very unusual island, with very unusually fine weather, and a blend of cultures that makes it different from anywhere else.
