A picture of white sand beaches and azure waters are conjured up by many when they consider a holiday on the island of Gran Canaria.
And the picture would be right, Gran Canaria is paradise for those who love their beach holidays.
However, there is more to Gran Canaria than beaches – it’s a perfect destination for those who enjoy nature and a natural environment.
The island is rich in natural resources and its vast terrain tantalizes eco-adventurers of all types. The island has been designated as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO for this reason. Thanks to this special status, Gran Canaria will remain an ecological preserve for the rest of its days. It also ensures harmonious balance between nature and the interests of man.
