Puerto de Las Nieves and the beach, in Agaete

Beaches of Agaete in Gran Canaria: A Sea of Blue and Stillness

The natural pools and sun-drenched beaches of Agaete satisfy the spirit of the sea, as the poet Saulo Torón wrote. 

The sea opens its blue eyes at the mouth of the Agaete ravine. Here, in the natural pools of Las Salinas, life becomes bright and transparent. Even the passage of time itself seems to slow down when we immerse ourselves in this setting, carved by the waves upon the volcanic rock in a joyful encounter between elements as different as water and fire. From the struggle between the two, harmony and beauty finally emerged.

The most creative and moving Cirque du Soleil show comes to Gran Canaria

The BAZZAR show is inspired by the origins and legacy of Cirque du Soleil and opens in October 2024 in Gran Canaria.

A merry and colourful troupe of acrobats, dancers and musicians come together on this occasion to create a unique universe where fantasy runs wild. A place where the unexpected is possible; a troupe of artists who imagine, build and rebuild marvellous scenes in an artistic and acrobatic game. All this can be summed up in just one word, BAZZAR.


Comet Neowise over Roque Nublo, Tejeda, Gran Canaria

El Roque Nublo awaits your return in Gran Canaria

The summit of Gran Canaria is one of those spots which makes the island a Starlight Tourism Destination. There is no light without darkness. The comet that streaks across Gran Canaria’s skies is a lump of rocks and gases covered in ash. The nearby sun melted its heart of ice, explaining the white wake streaming behind it which seems to have hypnotised El Roque Nublo and its stoney companions as they watch this interstellar Icarus, a full five kilometres wide, on its return journey to the depths of the galaxy.
