Hiking and biking
Adresse: Artenara, Spain .Gran Canaria is not only the home of surfers and divers. It is also home to a sea of mountains, which are perfect for practicing sport.

In less than one hour by car you can swap the sea for dizzying mountains, in places where no sound is heard. You can leap in one moment from our ocean of beaches to our extensive network of hiking trails, where you can spend a whole day strolling among pine forests, or following winding roads on bikes, passing through villages so small that they are gone in the blink of an eye. There are different options for different people.
Playa del Burrero
Adresse: Avenida Marítima, El Burrero, Spain .El Burrero Beach, in Gran Canaria, has a clearly defined personality and a history etched in salt letters.

This coastal spot is an extension of the sea that laps up to the vibrant shores of the municipality of Ingenio, in Gran Canaria. They are like two worlds that blend in together and are constantly overlapping eachother. Hence there are houses whose entrances bear the sculptures of dolphins, while others have giant snails decorating their inside walls, and even huge waves with slim palm trees painted onto walls.
