Gran Canaria Attractions

 
Gran Canaria draws larger numbers of holidaymakers than any of the other islands. Although its scenery is less spectacular than that of Tenerife, it has the great attraction of the beautiful sandy beaches in the south of the island and is well equipped with sport and entertainment facilities.

Topography

The center of Gran Canaria, which is almost exactly circular in form, is occupied by a range of mountains which reach their highest point in the Pozo de las Nieves (1,949m/6,395ft). This central mountain massif, also known as the Cumbre ("Summit"), divides the island into two very different landscape zones.
