Suggested Itinerary For the Trip:

Day 1: Gran Canaria, Here I Come!

Your journey to the sun, sea, and unforgettable moments begins now. Today you land in Gran Canaria - an island of contrasts, where sandy dunes, azure coastlines, and wild mountain landscapes meet. If you have the time and energy after arrival, experience the legendary Maspalomas beach as your first taste of the island's atmosphere. Golden sand, the endless ocean, and a freedom that will instantly put you in vacation mode.

Day 2: Between the Dunes and the Quiet Coast

A day full of contrasts – from endless sand waves to hidden corners far from the crowds. Stroll along the iconic Maspalomas dunes, reminiscent of a desert, but with the ocean within reach. Golden sand, wind in your hair, and a feeling of complete freedom. For peace and quiet, head to the lesser-known Las Mujeres beach, a quiet place to enjoy relaxation far from the tourist hustle and bustle.

Day 3: Breathtaking Heights

Gran Canaria is not just about beaches; its true face reveals itself high in the mountains. Today's journey takes you inland, surrounded by dramatic landscapes, deep valleys, and breathtaking views. Visit the charming mountain village of Fataga, known for its white houses and palm valleys. From the viewpoint at Roque Bentayga, you'll have a view of the heart of the island – raw, quiet, and impressive. Climb to Pico de las Nieves, the highest point of Gran Canaria, for views across the entire island.

Day 4: A Day Full of Nature's Wonders

Head to Palmitos Park, one of the most popular places on the island, where fun, knowledge and contact with nature combine. A zoo and botanical garden awaits you, a tropical greenhouse full of butterflies and exotic birds, interactive shows and an atmosphere that will captivate both young and old. The main attraction is the dolphinarium, where you can watch intelligent marine mammals in a breathtaking performance.

Day 5: Wild West Coast

Explore Gran Canaria's wild west coast, starting with panoramic ocean views from Mirador del Balcón and a visit to Cactualdea Park, home to Europe's largest cactus garden. For adventurers, hike to the remote Playa de Güigüí - a hidden beach reached only on foot, offering pure serenity and raw natural beauty.

Day 6: History and Volcanic Remnants

Today's trip takes you to charming Agüimes, a historic town with cobblestone streets, colorful facades, and a relaxed, artistic vibe. Then head to the coast to witness El Bufadero de la Garita — a volcanic blowhole where the ocean erupts through rock crevices in a dramatic show of nature's force.

Day 7: Island Roots and Taste of Tradition

Step into Gran Canaria's past with a visit to Cenobio de Valerón - a striking network of over 300 ancient caves carved into volcanic rock. Then head to Arucas, a town famed for its lava-stone cathedral and historic rum distillery, where you'll enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour and a taste of authentic Canarian rum.

Day 8: Farewell!

Spend your last moments on the island in the vibrant capital city of Las Palmas, where history meets modern energy. Stroll through the elegant streets of the Vegueta district, discover hidden courtyards, small galleries, and stop by the impressive Santa Ana Cathedral, one of the most beautiful buildings on the island. It's the perfect place for a peaceful end to your journey with a coffee in hand and a view of city life.
