Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, Gran Canaria’s Summit

Gran Canaria, an island full of colour in its mountains, cliffs, and ravines

In Gran Canaria, not only are the seasons adorned with almond blossoms and blue tajinastes; but you’ll also spot the rich purple of sage and the bright whites of the retamas.

It is not only the intensity of the light or the blues of the sky that transform Gran Canaria into an island that can shift our mood and delight our gaze. There is also its vegetation: the green of its pine forests, the flowers we find along the paths and in many homes throughout the year, and, above all, the ancient blooms of species that blanket its slopes and ravines through the changing seasons.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the nomad city

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has developed into a top European destination for digital nomads, as it brings together the vast majority of attractions they are looking for.

María Sirotkina was born on the banks of the river Sura, in the Russian city of Penza, where the temperature from November to March rarely creeps up over a chilly zero degrees. María has swapped this frozen beauty spot for the more warming climate of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

The clock that ticks on las Salinetas Beach

The tides and waves are the only things to mark the hours and minutes on Las Salinetas Beach, in Gran Canaria.

The tamboril fish flits around the sandy depths near to Salinetas beach (Telde, Gran Canaria), like it’s in its own larder. If it feels it is under threat, it expands like a balloon to make it look larger than it actually is, at least physically. On the shore, on the other hand, summer holiday makers have nothing to fear, as their only worry is to decide which restaurant to go to for lunch, or whether they would prefer going for a splash in the crystal clear waters, go for a snooze, or flick through a couple of pages of their book. That’s about as tough it gets during the day in Salinetas.

The home of the poet of the ocean in Gran Canaria

The Tomás Morales House Museum in Moya is a showcase of the profoundness of cultura in Gran Canaria.

There once was a poet who instead of dipping his feather in ink, he dipped it directly into the sea water. He was called Tomás Morales, and was born in Moya in 1884 and is considered one of the leading lights in modernism in Spain. His poems contain traces of foam and salt, because, as he said himself, they come from the infinite Atlantic.
