Today, I said farewell to Gran Canaria’s interior, and returned to the coast. I hiked trough the sand dunes of Maspalomas, which given a certain desert vibe – if it was not for the large number of tourists, that is. Continue reading Gran Canaria is in Africa!

Up to the high view!
Today, I drove a bit further to hike up to Altavista mountain. Already along the hike, I had good views of the plateau of Acusa. So, I checked out this area (with is cave dwellings) as well. Continue reading Up to the high view!

Caldera de Tejeda the Third
In close proximity to my apartment, there are just so many nice hikes. Therefore, I decided not to spend too much time driving around to explore some area further away. Instead, I did another hike at the edge of the Caldera de Tejeda today. Continue reading Caldera de Tejeda the Third

Hiking above the Caldera de Tejeda
Today, I wanted to see more of the Caldera de Tejeda – and from higher up. So, I drove to Cruz de Tejeda, some 450 meters of altitude higher than the town of Tejeda itself. From there, I went on a nice circular hike along the ridge line, and down into La Culata. Continue reading Hiking above the Caldera de Tejeda

Hiking in the Caldera de Tejeda
I am currently staying in Tejeda, in the centre of Gran Canaria. This area is well-known for its gorgeous hikes, as I could experience today myself – even though I ended up on a different trail than I originally intended to take (due to a trail closure).

Into the mountains of Gran Canaria!
Today is my first “true” vacation day, and I said farewell to Las Palmas. After picking up my rental car, I made my way into the island’s interior, where I will spend the next few days. Mostly, I am planning to go hiking – because this area of Gran Canaria has lots to offer in this regard! Continue reading Into the mountains of Gran Canaria!

Empty Arucas, crowded Teror
Also today, I was drawn to places outside the city. I will spend the next week in Las Palmas anyway – mostly working, but hopefully I will also find some time for short explorations within the city. So, I decided to visit two nice towns a bit further away today: Arucas and Teror. Continue reading Empty Arucas, crowded Teror
