Maspalomas Natural Monument
The extraordinary Maspalomas dunes at Gran Canaria’s southern tip represent one of the most remarkable natural landscapes in Spain: a vast system of Saharan-style sand covering over 400 hectares, constantly shifting and reshaping under the Atlantic trade winds to create a desert landscape of stark, elemental beauty and complete natural solitude right at the edge of Europe.
Year-Round Spring Climate
Gran Canaria’s extraordinary eternal spring climate, delivered by its position near the Tropic of Cancer moderated by the cool Canary Current, provides reliably warm sunshine throughout the year – making it one of the very few destinations accessible by direct short-haul flight from the UK that offers genuine beach weather in winter, with temperatures rarely falling below 18°C even in January.
UNESCO Volcanic Interior
The dramatic volcanic interior, recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, offers extraordinary hiking and scenic drives centred on the iconic Roque Nublo monolith. The deep ravines radiating from the central massif create micro-climates of extraordinary ecological diversity, from arid semi-desert to subtropical forest, within remarkably short distances in a landscape of genuine dramatic beauty.
Cosmopolitan Las Palmas
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is one of Spain’s most underrated and rewarding city destinations, with the magnificent Playa de Las Canteras – one of Europe’s finest urban beaches – and the extraordinary UNESCO-quality Vegueta colonial quarter, where Columbus stayed before sailing to the Americas, creating a city cultural experience of genuine depth and interest alongside superb beach facilities.
Arrive at Gran Canaria Airport and transfer to the historic Hotel Riu Palace Meloneras in Las Palmas. Head straight to the magnificent Playa de Las Canteras, one of Spain’s finest urban beaches, for a first Atlantic swim and sunset walk.
Drive south to the extraordinary Maspalomas dunes, a protected natural monument of vast Saharan sand constantly reshaped by Atlantic winds. Walk deep into the dunes for extraordinary solitude, then relax on the excellent Playa del Inglés.
Head into the dramatic volcanic interior UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for the iconic Roque Nublo basalt monolith at 1,813 metres, with extraordinary panoramic views. Return via beautiful mountain village of Tejeda and the spectacular Cruz de Tejeda pass.
A perfect day on the magnificent Playa de Las Canteras, sheltered by a natural reef creating exceptionally calm, clear, safe water. The superb waterfront seafood restaurants make lunchtime a genuine highlight.
Drive inland to the beautiful pilgrimage town of Teror, with its magnificent Basílica and the finest examples of traditional Canarian colonial architecture. The local Sunday market offers excellent artisan food, crafts, and the famous local morcilla sausage.
Visit one of the excellent water parks in the southern resort area then explore the busy resort promenades of Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas for an afternoon of lively holiday atmosphere.
Spend a final morning in the extraordinary UNESCO-quality Vegueta neighbourhood of Las Palmas: Columbus’s house museum, the magnificent Gothic Cathedral, and the excellent Plaza de Santa Ana artisan market.
