- THE definitive Guide for hikers by Rambling Roger, resident in Gran Canaria, Spain - join us for mountain & hill walking in the Canaries -

 
The ultimate guide for walks, hiking and mountain trekking on the Canary Island of Gran Canaria, Spain

Gran Canaria is a paradise for hill walking in the Canaries, with inhabited cave villages, lake side walks, spectacular mountain scenery and wonderful flora & fauna especially in the Spring.  There are a great variety of hikes on outstanding trails, many of these are off-the-beaten-track and the climate is excellent for trekking.

I have just completed my 1st Guide of 25 great hikes around Gran Canaria: 'Don’t leave Gran Canaria without seeing it'.  I believe that our local knowledge of walking routes and transport can make this book the most essential item for anyone wanting to hike our magnificent mountains, away from the busy hotels and beaches on the south coast.

Although we were 'temporarily unsure of our exact position'...  at times whilst compiling these walking routes, we know that our experiences of taking the wrong track will have helped in the accuracy of this guide!
 

Roger and Eileen know the islands and it’s pathways very well.  Safety is always at the forefront and walks are sensibly graded.  Each walk is carefully thought out and researched and they even go so far as to encourage working parties to maintain some of the lesser used paths!

   - Welcome to mountain hiking in Gran Canaria, Spain -

A map of Gran Canaria should be purchased to accompany my Guide 'Don’t leave Gran Canaria without seeing it' to get the ‘big picture’ as my maps are only very local to give a rough guide of the route.

Over the years, Roger and Eileen have explored every Camino Real and almost every track up there, in order to compile a dossier of mostly circular walks, of unequalled quality.  Roger prides himself on keeping off tarmac as much as possible and also on providing you with the bus times you require to reach the start and get back from the end of each walk - essential details which are omitted from all walking books I have seen for this island
