Discover the undiscovered Gran Canaria
Video of Lopesan Baobab Resort
Caption: Without a doubt Lopesan Baobab Resort is one the luxest resorts we have ever stayed at. With its African style it is quite unique on Gran Canaria and even though it has 600 rooms it doesn't feel that huge. Probably because of the many trees, palms and flowers dividing it in several smaller areas. The absolute eye catcher is the African Lodge!
Video of Mirador del Balcón
Caption: Follow the very winding but scenic Ruta GC-200 along the beautiful west coast of Gran Canaria. You will be amazed by the green surroundings and stunning views. Especially at the viewing point Mirador del Balcon. It gives you the feeling that you're in Hawaii!
Video of Barranco de las Vacas
Caption: It might give you the feeling that you're in the US. But no, this is Barranco de las Vacas, a hidden gem in the rural area of Gran Canaria. As it is not an official sight you have to do a little hike through a riverbed to get there. But trust me, it is worth it!
Video of Agaete Piscina Natural
Caption: Located in the north-west of Gran Canaria you will find the hidden gem Ageate Natural Pools. This spot is definitely worth a visit as you are able to swim in the pools while the waves roll in. As the north-west of the island is known as windy and rainy, not many tourists come here. You will be surrounded by locals which in our eyes is just perfect!
Video of Mirador Astronómico de la Degollada de las Yeguas
Caption: If you love breathtaking views and watching stars you have to come to Mirador de Degollada de las Yeguas. This viewpoint is overlooking a ravine that is carved out of lava flows. Deep in the canyon you will see many Canary Palm trees (Phoenix canariensis). At night you will be blown away by the beauty of the milky way (which absolutely is visible even though this viewpoint is closely located to Maspalomas city).
Video of Puerto de Mogán
Caption: With its picture perfect port, cute little channels, beautiful houses and colorful bougainvillea Puerto de Mogan is also known as 'the Venice of Gran Canaria'. And we totally understand why. Stroll around, grab a tasty lunch and relax on the beach.
