Walking on Gran Canaria Guidebook

Description

This Cicerone guidebook describes 45 day walks on Gran Canaria that are between 10km and 12km long. It also includes a 5 day coast-to-coast route that is part of the GR131 route, an island-hopping long-distance trail stretching across all 7 of the Canary Islands. Despite Gran Canaria being in one of the world's most popular holiday locations, there are many quiet and charming rural locations to go walking.

The 45 days walks are suitable for those of all abilities, ranging in landscape from coastal clifftops to the inland dramatic volcanic mountains. There are many peaceful locations for walkers to explore and some truly beautiful and striking scenery, ranging from arid semi-desert and mountains, to extensive pine and laurisilva forests and amazing cliff coastlines.

For each walk there is a description along with a map. Also included is access information (generally using the island's good bus services), details of places offering food and drink, and notes on the interesting features passed along the way. The book also provides lots of background information on geology, wildlife, plants and flowers as well as practical information on accommodation, currency and language.
