- In this Vlog, I'll show you there is far more to see and do in Gran Canria than you might think! As someone who visits’ regularly to recharge and rarely leaves town, I spent the week searching for the hidden gems, and attractions such as the Barranco de Las Vacas rock forms, the culture in Aguimes, the fantastic fishing village of Puerto De Mogan, and beaches of Puerto Rico. My trip also includes a trek up Roque Nublo, the amazing sights around Las Palmas and of course being in Playa De Ingles, the The Yumbo Centrum and its party atmosphere!

loved the vid Jay. Gran Canaria is in my list for next time I head over to Spain. Mountain Valleys, volcanic beaches and sand dunes. Im in!
Thanks dude! Very kind 👌
As a native from Gran Canaria, if you would like to explore less trodden beautiful mountainous natural places, I would recommend Artenara and its Mirador de la Cilla, the troglodite village of Acusa Verde, the troglodite Guayadeque ravine and it's cave restaurants, as well as the beautiful village of Artenara and the wonderful pine forests and cliffs of Tamadaba. For beautiful palm-groves, Santa Lucia de Tirajana and Fataga, going up from the tourist resort areas on the southern coast. Greener areas, like Teror and Valleseco, or Fontanales. Beautiful hikes starting from the mountains to the coastal areas, all along the numerous gorges or ravines, with an amazing variety of flora due to the lots of microclimates. This is best from November until spring, from April to the end of May, when all the multi-colored flora explodes in bloom. And for the rich cultural patrimony, Vegueta, the oldest part of the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (where you shouldn't miss the amazing Las Canteras beach), Arucas and it's neo-gothic cathedral and richly ornamented 19th century buildings with lots of stone in their façades, where you could have a look at the exotic Jardines de la Marquesa gardens, you could also go to Teror, where you could find more traditional architecture, with wooden balconies, the downtown areas of Guia and Gáldar, and Agüimes, as shown on the video, are worth a visit as well. Then you have the beautiful small town of Agaete and the Puerto de Las Nieves, with white houses and blue doors and windows, reminiscent of the Greek islands. There you could enjoy the sight of one of the highest sea-cliffs in the world: the Faneque cliff, falling down from the Tamadaba pine forest onto the sea. The road to La Aldea is possibly frightening, but beautiful as weel. You won't forget Gran Canaria y you visit some of these places. And oooh, the view from the highest top of the island, Pico de las Nieves, with an incredible sunset views toward the island of Tenerife if you can, shouldn't be missed. You won't be idle for a couple of weeks at least, and you won't forget the island after you visit at least half of these things. ;)
Hi Sergio I am here very often so I'll be sure to check out your suggestions on my next visit they sound great! Thanks for the top tips!
Thank you!!!!
You have an incredible way of capturing the places you visit. Looks awesome
Never been to Gran Canaria as I thought it was just a party town, great to see the place has another side to it. Thanks!
Hello how are you doing today I hope you’re having a wonderful day
I thought I watched this one already and left my comment +Like
Hey Tech Wolf had to re-post due to a volume issue a few secs in on the first attempt! Thanks for sticking with it! 👍👌
Thanks for sharing bro, We are now making plans for the trip.
My pleasure! Have a wicked time! 👌
The ride looks amazing! we would like to visit Gran Canaria one day.
Thanks you'll love it
What a great video🎉
Thank you.
Oh wow the dunes looks just like parts of the canyons here in Arizona!!
Thanks fella! Pretty epic right! Arizona looks amaze deffo on the bucket list! 👍👌
Jay Curtis if you do make your way to Arizona. Try to visit around Sept- October when it’s not too busy & hot!!
@@AeAce thanks matey top advice!
Just discovered you while planning my own trip to Gran Canaria. This is a great edited video mate, will be a good challenge for me to top this in my own videos. New sub here.
Thanks mate! You'll have a great time, the views from Roque Nublo are awsome if you get a chance to check it out! 👌
@@JayCurtis We have 5 full days and a car, based on the current Covid climate, it is definitely something we will check out. Where did you say again we had to go on Google Maps if we wanted to see that valley you showed in the video. Not to the original destination.
@@Svenywhere sounds wicked! Search 'Tobas de colores del Barranco de Las Vacas' on Google maps to find it. Youll see the 2 parking spaces on your right and the embankment to walk down on your left. Go through the tunnel and follow the track a few hundred meters and your there! Deffo worth calling in Aguimes on your way back!
I love your video! Brings me back the memories when i was in Gran Canaria! I recently made video about my trip also
Great vlog! 😊👍
Thanks
Sand dunes: not a thousand km, which is around 700 miles! It is at most 5 km.
Hi Jay, visiting in June, any suggestions on where to go for Whale and Dolphin Spotting?
Hi Sophie most trips set off from Puerto Rico and start around £30 for a 2-3 hour trip.
@@JayCurtis Thank you
We used Gran Canaria boat trips during out visit, they were very good.
@@sophieturner6027 Hello how are you doing today I hope you’re having a wonderful day
Did you use the DJI action for this footage? Thinking in getting one myself 👍 nice video's mate and sub added 👌
Thanks Stewart! Yea love the DJI action tried lots and it's the best in my opinion. Appreciate it 👍
@@JayCurtis glad to hear it mate as I have literally this second just bought it and for a good price of £229 and that is with a free charging kit worth £79 so very good price for a very good camera and me and the wife can't wait to get out and about again to test it 😁 and recommendation for any accessories for it bar the usual memory card? I take it 128gb would be a minimum? Thanks for the reply buddy 👍
Great blog, going here in May! Did you take a drone with you and did you have any issues using it? 👍
Hi Simon, I didn't take mine but instead had help from a fellow Vlogger who used his. There are some strict rules for Private Flying in GC. This link might help. adventuregrancanaria.com/rules-for-flying-drones-in-gran-canaria/
At the barranco de las vacas, there is actually a bigger parkinglot near the place you parked (4 or 5 spots?)
The road goes up hill for some time before the next stop. But if your up for a walk I'd say 10 minutes walk away.
@@JayCurtis 27.909963, -15.473750 yes there is.
1:14 i was sitting right there to the right in the lobby finding wifi and read that michal Jackson was dead.
Stayed in Playa des inglis....a tacky run down resort, reminded me of Southend in the 70,s
👍 not for everyone I guess...
Very nice video
Thank you!
