General tour description
On this hiking tour we can experience very good the differences between the drier south side, and the north of Gran Canaria with his higher level of humidity and differences in vegetation. We walk through pine forest and glades, smelling mint, sage, and broom. In good weather circumstances(=mostly!) we enjoy fantastic views reaching as far as Tenerife with the highest mountain of Spain, the Pico de Teide(3730m), and sometimes even to La Gomera, two of the other canary islands in the west. Also our mighty Roque Nublo (1813m), Gran Canaria´s main landmark and Pico de las Nieves (1949m), the island´s highest top we will be able to admire.
