    Continent

    Discover why Gran Canaria is called
    a “Miniature Continent”. Only a few
    hours away by plane, it is your ideal get
    away throughout the year.

    Dunes, deep ravines, hundred-year-old
    pine tree forests, thick luscious palm
    groves and beautiful beaches surround
    the island.

Biosphere
Reserve
In spite of the reduced land surface,
Gran Canaria exhibits an authentic
showcase of scenery, providing possibi-
lities for one to appreciate the peculiari-
ties of nature in the Micronesia and the
wide variety of indigenous flora and fau-
na to their visitors. This rich nature has
contributed favourably to the fact that
a great part of the geographical territory
has been declared a Biosphere Reserve.
Gran Canaria is the island with the most
diverse settings in the Micronesia, as a
result of the centralised positioning it
has in relation to the Micronesia and the
Archipielago of the Canary Islands.

legends: caves, the remains of Pre-His-
panic settlements, engravings, paintings,
idols, and numerous testimonies of a
unique as well as unusual cultural cus-
toms of the aborigines: mummification.
Gran Canaria has been and is the Bridge
to three continents.

Our Island has also witnessed the most
momentous adventure in history: The
discovery of the New World, cities and
villages that were founded more thatn
500 years ago and which display the
varied spectrum of styles from colonial
architecture to the more contemporary
styles.

 open, cosmopolitan and multicultural
 character of the island. Partake in our

 goings between people from different
 continents who brought with them
 the wonderful and varied foods of the
 world, which is represented by those
 who one day came here to stay.
