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.

The Spring Museum opens its doors

The eternal Spring in Gran Canaria is accentuated at this time of the year with an eclosion of new life.

The calendar announces that it is now Springtime, leaving behind Winter. Gran Canaria listens and just smiles, as Spring is just another full time resident on the island. The finely striped black bee is never short of a flower to suck on nor short of reasons to take to the skies and buzz along happily.

Gran Canaria, the blue island

Here begins a journey of the senses around Gran Canaria, through the colour blue, one of the island’s essential elements.

Some living beings from Gran Canaria inhabit an ever blue territory, because the sea and the sky are the canvass on which their lives are etched. The first shearwaters, Atlantic birds par excellence, begin nesting in March high on the crags on the island. At nightfall these marine tones are intensified, and the birds can be spotted flying round in groups, skimming over the water, gliding for a few minutes before shooting forward once again with five or six flaps of their wings. Suddenly, they plunge under the sea in search of fish, splitting the frontier between the two immense blue expanses of Gran Canaria.

She, Gran Canaria

She, Gran Canaria, also celebrates March, woman’s month. Women have shaped the history of the island with the same wisdom with which María Guerra, the potter from La Atalaya de Santa Brígida, shaped her pieces of clay as she turned them into unique pieces of art. Take any mountain, beach, monument, rock or any landscape whatsoever, behind each of these you will always find some mark left by women, without which Gran Canaria would not be what it is.
