Starting points
One island, distinctly different bases.
Official Gran Canaria Tourism separates the south-western coast and its beaches from the island’s interior routes. Spain’s official tourism site also highlights Las Palmas, the south and less developed stretches of coast. Choose a base by deciding whether city life, beach time, villages or walking routes matter most.
Distances, sea conditions, trail access, opening hours and local transport vary with the plan and the day. Check current information directly with the relevant authority or provider before committing to a stay, excursion or crossing.
