Discover Gran Canaria’s hidden depths

Britain’s leading guided walking tours operator, Ramblers Worldwide Holidays, is offering a one week tour of Gran Canaria – often referred to as the ‘mini continent’ because of its considerable diversity.

This tour includes walking in the central Cumbre, the high mountain region with spectacular landscapes and remote villages and in the fertile north, with its deep, lush valleys.

Highlights include, the mountain peaks and gorges around the Cruze de Tejeda and the volcanic crater of Caldera de Bandama.

The base for this holiday is the historic port and capital, Las Palmas, once an important trading port on the sea route to the New World.

Also included in the tour is the opportunity to explore the attractive and historical old quarter of Vegueta and Triana, where there are shops, restaurants and a superb sandy beach at Las Canteras.

Price from £742 includes return flights, half-board accommodation at 4-star Hotel Concorde with rooftop swimming pool and solarium (breakfasts taken at hotel and dinners in local restaurants) and the services of a tour leader.
