Also known as the ‘miniature continent,’ Gran Canaria is renowned for its marked contrasts. Here, we can enjoy marvelous beaches surrounded by dunes and climb peaks covered in Canary Island pine forests, with their greenery standing starkly against the dark volcanic earth. No sport can’t be enjoyed in this place surrounded by the sea with its year-round spring weather. And with all sorts of facilities and services, there’s no excuse not to spend some time exercising our bodies.
There are infinite options: playing golf on modern courses while enjoying the ocean breeze, getting on a board and battling the waves and wind, riding a mountain bike along the routes especially for them, running along the seashore, swimming in the crystalline waters, climbing mountains that are apt for all levels... It doesn’t matter what shape we’re in. In Gran Canaria, there’s a sport for everyone. Finally, as many know, Gran Canaria is a favourite destination for cyclists and cycle tourists from all over Europe.
