Blog Oficial de Turismo de Gran Canaria

There is an island, Gran Canaria, where sometimes the best stories are the ones you never planned.

Holidays are often imagined as a series of perfect days, carefully planned, where everything unfolds without a hitch. However, the true magic of travel does not lie in perfection, but in quite the opposite, in imperfect moments, those unexpected instances that transform the experience into something deeply human, memorable and authentic.

The blue tajinaste, Roque Grande and Roque Chico are among the natural symbols of Valsequillo, in Gran Canaria.

Sweetness begins with a sound: the buzzing around the flowers of the blue tajinaste and thyme clinging to the slopes of Valsequillo, a municipality of honey, landscapes, cheeses, trails, sensations and cultures. The seemingly unplanned flight of bees forms part of a choreography of Nature that culminates symbolically at Roque Grande, the stone sentinel of this area where Gran Canaria reaches towards the sky and gazes out over the ocean.

Gran Canaria is a UNESCO World Heritage site and Biosphere Reserve. It also proudly holds the Biosphere Destination Seal and is a certified Starlight Destination.
