Do think it is normal to go from sunbathing on the beach in a flash to walking along a town from the Wild West in a hat and carrying a gun? Of course it is not easy for an adult to understand, but for kids it is different, and in Gran Canaria we take kids’ opinions very seriously.
Why can’t I be a sandcastle builder for a while and then an outlaw after lunch? Of course I can. There is a quite peculiar range of things to do around here, with kids in mind. You can go on a camel ride or visit Sioux City. You can go on a submarine, like Captain Nemo, sail out to visit the lounge of a dolphin family, go to the stunning world of Palmitos Park, among many other things...
But remember, you won’t get it through the eyes of an adult. Why is it such fun to spin around in a water toboggan? It is not all that clear, but they just love it, they could spend hours doing it. Why is it that even the odd adult has a truly great time on holiday in Gran Canaria?
