GRAN CANARIA
AN ISLAND OF CONTRAST

Gran Canaria measures some 1,532 km². Its highest point is Las Nieves Peak at 2,000 metres above sea level in the centre of the island.

Blessed with a pleasant temperate climate throughout the year, there are strongly contrasting landscapes that can be visited all within the same day. Cliffs, sandy beaches and dunes contrast with spectacular ravines, green slopes and pine forests; towns and villages with their old-world historical centres, high-class hotels and tourist areas, marinas and excellent facilities for all types of sporting and recreational activities coexist happily.

On Gran Canaria intense working sessions can be combined with days of relaxation and leisure activities to suit all tastes. Among such activities we could underline the sporting, historical and cultural ones or those closed to nature at its most exuberant, where the island's volcanic origin, and flora and fauna of beauty, as well as scientific interest, can be admired.
