Gran Canaria is far more than a beach destination. Away from the coastal resorts lies a remarkably varied interior of deep volcanic barrancos, ancient laurisilva forests, pine-covered ridges and the dramatic rock formations of Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, rising from the island's rugged highland core. Known as a continent in miniature, Gran Canaria packs an extraordinary range of landscapes into a single island.

Med Mitt Gran Canaria i din hand blir det ett underbart äventyr.Röster om boken:»Det har skrivits många guideböcker om dessa öar, men just den här guiden är annorlunda och mer personligt skriven än vad många andra är. Författarna Marko Wramén och Anna W. Thorbjörnsson, verksamma som resejournalister, filmare och fotografer, har under flera månader båtluffat runt öarna. Utifrån sina upplevelser berättar de om vandringsleder, promenadstråk, vinprovning, dykning, ubåtsfärder, valsafari, stads- och byliv, naturupplevelser och mycket annat ... Texterna är korta och lättlästa och det är rikligt med vackra och informativa färgfotografier.« Bibliotekstjänst

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.Inside the Sunflower Gran Canaria guide book you'll find:60 long and short walks - more than a month's walking1:50,000 topo maps, including all the latest officially waymarked trails6 car tours - highlighting access to all the walks en routeFold-out touring map - with walk locations - ideal for planningPlans - of Las Palmas, Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés12 picnic suggestions - short walks and leg stretchersTimetables for local transportOnline update service - the latest news available to the publisherThis guide is part of the Landscapes Series, with 50 destinations - dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times and chosen by readers of Which?as one of the four top travel guide series (from a field of 18).A great little guide book to get you off into the interior of this beautiful island.
