The third-biggest Canary Island has plenty on its line-up, from postcard-worthy resorts to Blue Flag beaches. Join our TUI Travel Expert, Paula Santana Armas, as she uncovers the best places to visit on your next trip.
First up is the bustling capital city, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with a stop at the Santa Ana Cathedral – the first church built in the Canaries. Then, to the coastal region of Agaete where a dip in one of its natural pools are as relaxing as any spa day. Next up’s the mountain province Tejeda, where foodies can tuck into pastries from some of the oldest bakeries on the island, followed by Puerto de Mogan AKA “Little Venice” – the home of crisscrossing canals and bustling backstreets that pitch boutiques next to springtime flowers. Sounds dreamy, right?
From there, we’re heading to Fataga, where family-run tavernas have tapas down to a fine art, before following the volcanic Bandama crater trail to score some epic views. Speaking of views, we’ll also visit the Maspalomas Dunes. Insider tip: for the best snaps, pop down close to sunset when the sun drops behind the 400-hectare stretch of rolling dunes.
For a taste of the traditional life, we made tracks for Teror, one of the oldest towns in the Canaries, before hiking to Roque Nublo summit – the island’s second-highest peak. And what better way to wrap up our adventure than a stay at one of our family-friendly TUI BLUE hotels and a stroll along the golden sands at its doorstep.
