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.

Let your imagination soar towards Maspalomas

El Puerto de Mogán is the kingdom of sea and land

The sun sets the pace for life in southern Gran Canaria, blurring the borders between worlds

The sun is the clock that sets the pace for life in these waters, and its rays are the hands that show the hours and minutes as they tick by. The skipjack tuna that surge through Mogán’s water in the summer only rise to the surface in daylight to feed off the yellow tails, headstanders or mackerel. As soon as the light begins to fail, they return to the depths. They are children of the light, bound to it. Their force is titanic, capable of travelling up to one hundred kilometres a day, although they are lost without the day’s guiding light.

Sustainability finds a home in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria has been awarded the demanding ‘Biosphere Destination’ seal, also earning a spot in the top fifteen European destinations with the most certified accommodation.

Gran Canaria takes care of you and itself. The island embraces its primary sector and invites us all to eat local produce. It also raises awareness on responsible water use and caring for natural resources, from its oceans and beaches to its forests and summits. These are examples of a global commitment which implicates not only public administrations but also the private sector. For a while now, all Gran Canaria’s paths have been leading to the same place: the need to be an increasingly sustainable tourist destination.
