Gran Canaria Guides
First time on the island? With our guides and itineraries, we will take you to Explore unique corners of Gran Canaria, full of local charm, culture and unforgettable landscapes. In addition, we recommend the best places to enjoy the Delicious Canarian cuisine and other must-visit restaurants. You can see all available packs by clicking below.
The work they do is admirable. Ruth y Jorge To promote the different corners of the Canary Islands, which we don't appreciate as much as we truly deserve. Keep it up.
Thank you so much! Hugs!
Thank you so much for compiling all that useful information.
Happy holidays (although I see you guys never stop)
Wow! What a nightmare! Now you don't know what to do, why make a decision? These guys are driving us crazy. Now we're going to see how we can organize ourselves to be able to go to everything.
They could almost give us a route, where to start, then where to go, continue towards… proceed through before finishing and ending in.
That would be the ultimate.
Hahaha, you don't have to go to everything, choose what you feel like doing most or draw straws, hehe.
I love it, you ooze professionalism!
I've been following you on social media, exploring the restaurants we have on the islands. I just discovered this blog, where you provide more information about local festivals and see all the work that goes into them.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jessica! Thank you so much for your comment and support of the work we do. Hugs!
Please provide entertainment for Canarian families. Street concerts. Live music. Games, contests, etc. Not so many village festivals with their virgins.
We're back in a shopping mall. The entertainment in the Canary Islands without having to pay is depressing.
Hahahaha, ma'am, they teach us whatever they please here, and we should be very grateful. If you want more plans, find them on your own.
Hats off for the information, thank you very much.
Thank you very much!!!
Impressive and excellent work informing us about how much we have to celebrate in our homeland – Gran Canaria.
Thank you very much
Great work!
thank you very much!!
Excellent website with good and timely information for a pleasant time. Time is what's needed to enjoy the people of Gran Canaria.
Thank you so much!! a hug!
For Ruth I hope you stay with your partner for many years to come, as many as you wish. But I wanted to let you know that if you have a waiting list of potential suitors, you can add me to it.
I've only recently discovered the blog, but I like it a lot. It helps me decide what to do on the weekend.
Perhaps something you're unaware of is the waste of money spent on festive events in our islands, and the paradoxical lack of resources in social services: it's shameful.
Hi Diego! Thank you so much, I also hope to be with him for many years to come, haha. I'm glad the blog is useful; it's true that I also notice a lot of investment in parties, although we have to remember that some are sponsored by private companies, etc. I agree with you! Hugs.
Good afternoon everyone
It's the first time I've entered this page and the truth is that it's been a while since I knew how to visit festive places where I could enjoy life.
Thank you
Hello! That's great, let's hope it's not the last time, hehe, enjoy!
Thanks to this page, my family and I now have more plans and more things to discover on the island, like our meals, our festivals, our traditions, and enjoying all our weekends together.
I'd like to find a website as interesting and important as this one, but about Lanzarote, since I'll spend most of my time between our island and the neighboring one. If you could recommend one, I'd also like to thank you for your work and making life easier in the Canary Islands.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing your adventure.
Hi Sonia!! Thank you so much for your comment and support! We don't know of any similar sites in Lanzarote, sorry 🙁 Hugs!
I've been looking for something like this for a while. Thanks for your work. Best regards.
