Gran Canaria * El roque nublo & Pico de Las Nieves

When we drove even further into the hinterland, we discovered that Gran Canaria has a a lot of variety in its landscapes.

We stopped at 'El Roque Nublo', the thumbshaped stone, you can even see while strolling down the beach...

The landscape you cross when walking 1,5km towards the rock itself, resembles the far west.

At the Pico de las Nieves, the highest peak of the island,

you have a wonderful sight towards 'el roque nublo' and the Teide , which is the top of neighbouring island, Tenerife

(and the highest mountain of whole Spain!).

Surprizing Gran Canaria * a trip into the hinterland

It's already 3 years ago (auwch, is that us? here, here and here) since we last took a trip to our friends who live on this beating heart of the Canaries.

This easter holiday we had an even more splendid time in Gran Canaria, with other very dear friends by our side...

And...

the island opened its secrets to us...

the hinterland took our breath away.

I immediateely fell in love with all of its natural beauty.

From step one.
