About My Gran Canaria Vacations and Travel Guide

Roberto

Hi! My name is Roberto.
I wanted to tell you about the first time I came to Gran Canaria. I was astonished about how the island looks and feels like, and I still am. I really could not get the smile of my face for two solid weeks, and every new place I visited made me love this island even more.

It is really incredible how a variety of things can fit in a land-piece that is 50Km(31 miles) in diameter. Mountains, beaches, canyons, endemic life forms (life forms that only occur at a single place on the planet), modern highways, places for holidays, museums, and a very rich history. The weather is perfect, the landscapes are astonishing, the locals are really friendly, and the beaches… well, that one you have to see for yourself – it’s a paradise.

Even Christopher Columbus stayed for a month in Las Palmas (capital of Gran Canaria) before he went to discover Americas – heh, I wonder why. The sailors probably did not want to leave, or the captain?

I stayed for some months first time. Next, I went back to Europe, and nothing was the same after that. It’s cold, rainy, no palamas? Forget this, let’s go back to Gran Canaria! So I did.

Purpose of this Site

I created Gran Canaria Travel Guide to present the island to people who never heard of it, and also for the ones that want to drop by for a vacation to use it as a planning guide: what to do/visit while being here, best beaches, transportation info, how to section, etc. There are literally hundreds of locations and things to do here, and the web-site’s purpose is helping you to find anything you want to know about Gran Canaria.

The goal of this project is to inform wide range of people about the benefits of taking a vacation on Gran Canaria, presenting data and info about it, weather forecast, live web-cams, etc.

When you meet a girl/boy in another city, and she/he decides to visit your hometown, you need to have some special place to take this person, where the sunset looks really beautiful, some restaurant that is more secluded from the general masses, some special place that people usually do not know about. The goal of this web-site (besides presenting the “public” information) is to take you to all the special places in Gran Canaria, and later, if you like the information presented, you can also visit the island, and emerge into it’s magnificent places, culture and of course – beaches.

The place is really incredible, and I want to tweet that to the world.

I want to make this site as complete as possible, so, if you have any questions, wishes, critics, or word of support, feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Roberto
