They were a little cut, yes hehe.
Paco Lafuente says
Good morning:
We intend to go to your island for a week, and your guides have caught my attention. I have a question:
What I like is the Complete Guide, because whenever we go to a new place, we like to know as much about the destination as possible. But on the other hand, I really like the idea of the 7-day guide together with the restaurant guide, because I understand that you select what you consider best, since you know it. But I don't think it's necessary to take both.
My question is if there is also information of that type in the complete guide, or if you can include a kind of "travel program" without specifically developing it (as I understand you will do in the 7-day guide) that has the complete guide as a reference . I don't know if I explain myself.
Local Guide Gran Canaria says
Hello Paco!
I tell you, as we explained, the complete guide describes 35 one-day plans to discover each of the 21 municipalities that make up the island. In this way, depending on the number of days you come and your pace, you can choose the 7 one-day plans that best suit your interests and tastes, area of stay, etc. Within this complete guide we include the places that we would go to eat en route.
On the other hand, the 7-day guide is a closed itinerary with the essentials that we would recommend visiting if it is your first time on the island in our opinion. Here we also include places to eat en route. These 7 plans are also included in the complete guide (although not marked as such, it is up to the traveler to choose). They are also not distributed as is in the 7-day guide, since in the 7-day guide everything is compressed and adjusted so that you can make the most of your days.
Finally, in the restaurant guide we include more than 80 restaurants, bars and cafes to eat in Gran Canaria classified by area and type of food. So you can choose which restaurant to visit based on the type of food you want and where you are.
I hope I have helped and I hope to help much more with our guides :)
Greetings and enjoy!
