Explore the beautiful Canary Islands during MPS 2018
Discover the unique landscapes and culture of Gran Canaria
Puerto de Mogán is a charming tourist town. Developed in the 1980s around an old fishing village, it has a small beach with fine sand and a delightful harbor. Picturesque streets, water canals, and colorful Mediterranean-style houses are all wrapped in bougainvillea flowers.
The harbor walk offers a great view of yachts and the fishing port, as well as a chance to explore the many small shops that offer a variety of handcrafted products.
During an hour-long boat trip along the southwestern coast of Gran Canaria you will also be able to enjoy the views of the cliffs and observe marine wildlife through the boat's glass windows.
We will end the trip with a delightful lunch facing the sea.
Teror is a traditional town with historical value, full of late-colonial houses with typical Canarian balconies, most made of Canarian pine. It is a place of pilgrimage for all the residents of Gran Canaria, as it holds in its Basilica the statue of the Virgen del Pino, Patroness of the Canary Islands Diocese.
Arucas is a small but charming city known for its impressive neo-Gothic cathedral. The Arehucas rum distillery is the oldest in the Canary Islands and is worth visiting. The Jardín Botánico (Botanical Garden) de Arucas is another pleasant stop.
Agüimes is a picturesque town in the eastern part of Gran Canaria with a well-preserved historic center. The Barranco de Guayadeque is one of Gran Canaria's most spectacular ravines, with cave dwellings, a church built into the rock face, and cave restaurants.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the capital city of Gran Canaria and one of the most important cities in Spain. The Vegueta historic quarter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site candidate, with its well-preserved colonial architecture, the Christopher Columbus House Museum, and the beautiful Santa Ana Cathedral.
