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.

Gran Canaria offers visitors to Teror a new benchmark history and information space

The town of Teror, in Gran Canaria, has a new Visitors’ Centre right in its old town centre, located in the newly refurbished building known as ‘Casa de Los Alvarado’, opposite the Basílica del Pino.

Under the brand of ‘Teror te deja huella’ (Teror makes its mark), this beautiful building has become a beacon for the thousands of visitors and tourists who come to explore Teror every day. These facilities will provide a Tourist Information Office, permanent and temporary exhibition rooms, plus meeting and presentation facilities.

Playa de Arinaga, a marine stage

Playa de Arinaga, in Gran Canaria, is an invitation to enjoy life by the always open stage of blue.

Years ago, the days in Arinaga started with the sound of the depths. Literally. Very early, sometimes just at dawn, fishermen announced their return to the shores blowing their bucios, the big sea shells so abundant on the surrounding sea bed. They did so hours after leaving on their rowing boats to try their luck on the crystal-clear and bountiful waters of this part of the coast of Gran Canaria.
