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.

Timothy, another ‘Transgrancanarian’

American Timothy Allen Olson is living proof of the magnetic pull of the Transgrancanaria, with participants from 70 countries.

Timothy Allen Olson was born in Wisconsin, in the United States. It was the mountains in Ashland, in Oregan, however, where he developed his passion for Ultra Trail racing. Timothy insists he feels the energy from the trees, mountains, and wild life in general, and now also at the volcanic and oceanic heart of Gran Canaria. On the night of the 24th of February, this health, nature and family loving sportsman will be on the starting line in Agaete taking part in the 125 kilometre version of the Transgrancanaria –the mother of all mountain races- alongside other world famous running stars.

Half a century of applause in Gran Canaria

The Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Opera Festival reaches its fiftieth edition with a world class programme.

The ending is a familiar one: the applause fills the air like a swarm of flapping doves, with cheers and admiration of an awe-struck crowd. The Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Opera Festival is into its fiftieth year, during which time it has been a “cornerstone” in its role in making the city one of Europe’s leading musical capitals, as Ulises Jaén, the event’s current musical director, proudly puts it. Jaén himself has had a season ticket for this event since he was just sixteen years of age.
