Gran
Canaria is truly spectacular, an island of incredible scenic diversity. From
the sub tropical north, where banana plantations thrive in the constantly warm
moist air brought ashore by the northeast trade winds, travel inland to lush
green hills, where even in mid summer it may rain or be shrouded in cool mist. High above
the clouds, along the summits are beautiful pine forests, where even snow may
cover the ground in winter. To the south of these highlands, discover a
completely different world, one of eternal blue skies, of huge volcanic ridges,
cut by deep canyons leading to fertile valleys filled with palm groves and
orchards of Avocado, Mango, Orange,
and Banana. Reach the coast and find a hot arid land of rocky desert, where the
high cliffs open to beautiful bays and beaches, and where there is an expanse
of sand dunes so large that it resembles the Sahara.
With so much contrast in so small an area, it is known as a “Continent in
miniture”
