We were witness to the greatest adventure in history As a bridge between three continents, Gran Canaria has been witness to the best adventure in History: the discovery of the New World. The inheritance as a crossroad for the traveller is reﬂected in the island character: open, cosmopolitan, and multicultural. Cities and villages display their over 500-year history through architecture of a colonial ﬂavour and hundred year old traditions that highlight an unmistakeable Atlantic identity. Enrich your stay with a concert or a museum visit; just look up the Island’s extensive cultural program.

GASTRONOMY
