Description de l'éditeur : The go-to Gran Canaria walking guide for discovering the best walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover Gran Canaria on foot with the Sunflower Gran Canaria travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. The Sunflower Gran Canaria guide is indispensable for hiking in Gran Canaria or seeing Gran Canaria by car. For many years Gran Canaria was the most underrated of the Canary Islands among countryside enthusiasts, but with the restoration of the old trails (the so-called ‘Kings’ Highways’), the island has been truly ‘discovered’ by walkers. There’s more than a month’s walking in this guide to show you why! The island is often referred to as a ‘continent in miniature’. If you travel across Gran Canaria by car or on foot you’ll see why for yourself! From the hub of the cumbre, the island’s great saddle, ravines are born and fan out seaward like spokes on a wheel, gouging enormous valleys in their wake. Between them there are magnificent barrancos (ravines). Each has its own little secret to share. In the Barranco de los Cernicalos there are knee-deep grasses and a chuckling stream; the Barranco de la Aldea hides an emerald-green reservoir; the Barranco de Güígüí opens out to an incomparable beach. These are but a few of the island’s breathtaking ravines… and this is only the start of what you will find when out walking in Gran Canaria. The best months for walking on Gran Canaria are October to June (for the wild flowers, foliage and freshness in the air) but, increasingly, hikers are exploring all the Canary Islands on foot in summer as well.
