Review about a customized guide
Then we leave you with the experience of Pedro, Amadeo and Pep, three cyclists who visited us from Mallorca and contacted us to organize their enduro routes around the island, accommodation, restaurants, transfer, etc. They were so grateful for the help and good experience after their visit to Gran Canaria, that they did not hesitate to share their opinion with everyone in video format. They were a bit shy, that is true hehe. Don’t forget to activate the English subtitles.
Great resource!
We stayed in Las Palmas for two months. Local Guide Gran Canaria was our go-to guide. We used the website and their Youtube videos for inspiration and tips for hiking trails. We downloaded the GPX tracks for hiking – made navigation much safer and easier.
Their 14-day guide to the island gave a concise itinerary of the highpoints. It is not comprehensive like a commercial guidebook. It is tips from a local perspective, for example beaches that only locals know.
The restaurant guide did not let us down once. It includes some restaurants that come up on the usual websites, but also a lot of places that are only known to locals. We were never disappointed.
Their advice comes across as the sort of tips a local friend might give you.
Dear George!
