swim, rock climb or go hiking on some of the most fantastic
hiking trails. Formed by volcanic activity, the interior

can observe inhabitated cave villages, lakes and some of
the most beautiful mountain scenery seen anywhere, especially
in the spring when the flowers are in full bloom.
Spanish is the offical language of Gran Canaria, but English
and German can be heard thoughout the tourists sections
