The ultimate Guide for hiking, exploring, and mountain walking whilst visiting 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 is a great deal to explore and discover in the central mountains.  There are a great variety of hikes on outstanding trails, for all abilities of walker, many of these are off-the-beaten-track and the climate is excellent for trekking.

"Rambling Roger's your man.  In these days of instant gratification, it is rare to find anyone so devoted to a task, which for him has been a true labour of love.  He is Gran Canaria's Wainwright and deserves similar recognition"

- Hello, I am Rambling Roger and I hope to welcome you to hike with me in Gran Canaria, Spain -
 

I do not believe that any other published guide in English can offer this personal service, if you know better please let me know...



I have been hiking with Roger for over a year now and enjoyed every single walk.  He knows Gran Canaria really well and goes out of his way to design the most fascinating hikes.  I especially appreciate the variety of his walks in terms of length and degree of difficulty.  He has something to offer for everybody

Roger's Ramblers - Weekly Walks

During the months of October to May a group of English speaking friends meet most Tuesday's to go mountain walking. We call ourselves Roger's Ramblers.

Walkers should have suitable footwear, be of reasonable physical fitness and not suffer from vertigo.  The walks will range from 3-5 hours and will cover all parts of Gran Canaria.

  

Roger's Ramblers
- Rogers Ramblers -

Our walks cover the complete island, each week we start in a different location. Most walks are circular if you are an experienced hiker we are sure you would enjoy both the walk and the company of our group.

These walks are free if you have purchased a copy of our walking guide 'Don’t leave Gran Canaria without seeing it', if you are interested in joining our mountain walks, please contact Roger's Ramblers via email.


Guided Walks for Groups

My wife Eileen and I also guide walks for some local clubs and some English walking holiday companies, so please contact us if you require guided walks for a group of any size, as we understand why some people feel safer and more comfortable in a small group with a guide rather than hiking alone.

Gran Canaria is a safe place to trek, but you naturally pick up much more local information etc. especially with a resident English guide.  We would be happy to offer advice to anyone considering a hiking holiday on our beautiful island, whether it be just for themselves or a walking club etc.  We can also recommend English speaking walking guides for you if required.
