Gran Canaria Tourist Guide

Gran Canaria is a stunning theme park with irresistible attractions for all the family and friends. Its natural areas meet with all the required safety standards and quality for visitors to enjoy the great outdoors, providing a superb opportunity to get to know the local flora and fauna. The Finca de Osorio, the Viera y Clavijo Botanical Gardens, and the recreational areas purposely set up at the island’s summit all complement the range of leisure and entertainment choices spread around the rest of the island. Places such as Palmitos Park, Sioux City, Aqualand Maspalomas and the Angry Birds Activity Park in Puerto Rico are just some of the alternatives for a memorable day out. The much-loved “Canary Garden” was the brainchild of the extraordinary Eric Sventenius. It showpieces the wealth of flora that abounds around the Macaronesia region, and highlights the more than 500 endemic species from the Canary Islands themselves. Covering a surface area of 27 hectares, it is considered the largest botanical garden in Spain. Carretera del Centro Km7 - Tafira Alta. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
