Above all, because it is not overcrowded given its difficult access. This photo is taken from Güigüi Chico and It can only be accessed by walking at low tide or by boat.
8. Roque Nublo, Tejeda
Just a few meters from it Roque Nublo, we find this rock formation that overlooks the abyss. And not just any abyss, one of the most beautiful landscapes in Gran Canaria with Tenerife at the bottom. Be careful, as getting here is not advisable for the lazy. You can get there without any problem if you are careful. Therefore, taking into account that the Roque Nublo It is one of the essentials of Gran Canaria, this photo cannot be missed.
9. Source of Los Azulejos, Mogan
The natural resource of Los Azulejos It is undoubtedly one of the fashionable places in Gran Canaria to take photons. The photo is on the same road with the colorful mountains in the background. As it is a rarely traveled road this is possible, but VERY careful. Another option is ascend the trail towards the Inagua Natural Reserve and photograph the mountains next to the puddles and small waterfalls (only possible after the rains).

Finally, another Instagrammable place in Gran Canaria that we love is the Mirador de Llanos de la Mimbre, riding a tamadaba. Look how cool!
