With a total area of 1.560 km², Gran Canaria is the third-largest island of the Canarian archipelago and lies approximately 210 km west of south Marocco’s Atlantic coast. This nearly round island boasts 236 km of coastline, 60 km of which are golden-yellow sand beaches.
Gran Canaria island was born of volcanic activity; its highest point is located in the heart of the island, the Pico de las Nieves volcano, 1949 meters above sea level.
The pleasant climate lasts all year on Gran Canaria, which is also called a “miniature continent” for its diversity of natural environments.
