Roque Nublo, Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria protects Roque Nublo

Visits to the Natural Monument of Gran Canaria can be made with a prior reservation.

Every place in the world has an image that identifies it — a photograph or a memory that stays with us when we are far away, recalling the place where we were once happy. In Gran Canaria, that place could be the Natural Monument of Roque Nublo, both for those who visit and for those who call the island “home”. It is always before our eyes when we ascend to the peak, or when we look from Tejeda or Artenara.

The sun towers high over the summer skies in Gran Canaria and will not budge an inch. If you think about it, you can see why. Under its blazing glory, the days run happily on for ever. In this the summer season the days have a ritual-like feel to them, reflecting a serene beauty under an ever present bright light.

Echos of Beethoven in Gran Canaria

The Pérez Galdós House Museum in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria reflects the intense relationship between the writer and music.

There is a place where two geniuses live side by side. One of the greatest Spanish writers of all times, Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920), was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The house museum that is located in the very building he grew up in, in calle Cano, is home to the writer’s piano, and provides an insight into what a fan he was of music and how much he used to enjoy playing.
