The volcanic activity that created the Canary Islands has left behind a magnificent legacy. Perhaps the most scenic of the Canarian archipelago, Gran Canaria boasts a stunning mountainous interior where rugged ravines and gaping gulleys become more fertile and lush with altitude. Winding roads snake up mountainsides to pretty whitewashed villages surrounded by spiky cacti. In contrast, bright and breezy coastal resorts bustle with life and excitement and play host to a superb selection of shops, restaurants and bars as well as long stretches of golden, sandy beaches where you can bask beneath the sub-tropical sun.

Gran Canaria's main tourist areas lie on the island's south coast. Here bays curve and melt into one another forming what seems to be an endless golden beach. The wind-sculpted sand dunes at Maspalomas are almost a mile wide and stretch for as far as the eye can see. The undulating dunes provide numerous quiet spots so you can spend a tranquil day in the sun while children will be in their element in this natural playground.
