Off the coast of Northwest Africa, Gran Canaria is an amazing island of gorgeous scenery, endless stretches of sandy beaches, otherworldly dunes and quaint towns. A year-round destination like no other, Gran Canaria is a fantastic place to escape the cold as temperatures on the island rarely fall below 25°C throughout the year.
Driving is the best way to explore Gran Canaria. In this video, we’ve put together a 10-day Gran Canaria itinerary that has it all: from ancient ruins and picturesque villages to dramatic viewpoints and local businesses worth visiting.
Let this epic Gran Canaria road trip begin!
USEFUL TIPS ABOUT YOUR GRAN CANARIA ROAD TRIP
- Parking in Gran Canaria is relatively easy. In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and other large towns, always look for the right parking line colour. White lines mean you can park for free. Blue lines mean you can park for a fee that you can pay at the nearest ticket machine. Stay away from yellow and green parking lines. Alternatively, you can park in a large parking lot for a fee. Sometimes, your car rental company may offer free parking near your hotel.
- More often than not, there are more than one ways to get from point A to B. In this video, we usually suggest taking the most scenic route rather than the fastest or easiest one. Also, driving along the same roads and passing through the same spots is inevitable sometimes, but we did our best to add as much variety as possible to this 10-day Gran Canaria itinerary. Last but not least, some places may seem very close to one another on the map but there isn't always a quick road to connect them.
- If you're wondering about the best car type to rent in Gran Canaria, just go with the one you feel comfortable driving. We went for a FIAT 500 and it was perfect!

Top 15 Best Things to do & see in Gran Canaria !
Our 15 best things to do and see in Gran Canaria. 4K Video with beautiful images !
Visit Gran Canaria and enjoy this beautiful island...
For any other information we are happy to answer your questions.
In this video you will see:
- Roque Nublo which is considered one of the biggest natural crags in the world.
- Watching the sun set behind Teide volcano over in Tenerife is the perfect way to round off a day on Amadores beach
- GuiGui secret beach
- Maspalomas Sand Dunes one of the must visit if you are in Gran Canaria-
- To appreciate the essence of a place and soak up its atmosphere there is nothing better than getting to the highest point. In Gran Canaria this is the Pico de las Nieves lookout point right in the centre of the island.
- Mirador del Balcon viewpoint is in the far west of Gran Canaria and hangs over the sea at the top of a steep cliiff edge with spectacular views out over the Atlantic Ocean. From the viewpoint you get a clear view of a zigzag wall of sea cliffs called the “Dragon’s Tail”. Turning back to look at the island you see the La Arena Valley and the wide, green La Aldea de San Nicolás.
- Las Vacas ravine has become a well-known tourist attraction for visitors of Gran Canaria because of its peculiar rock formations called Tobas de Colores which bear a certain resemblance to the famous Antelope Canyon in the United States.
- Las Canteras beach in northeast Gran Canaria, right in the capital city Las Palmas, is amongst Europe’s most famous city beaches.Its natural offshore lava reef acts as a wavebreak and protects the sand and the exuberant marine life that make Las Canteras a top snorkeling spot.Las Canteras is an ideal beach for long barefoot walks as it’s golden sand stretches for over two kilometres. during the day you can sunbathe by the sand sculptures, rent parasols and loungers or surf at the southern end.
- Barranco del Medio with Los Azulejos de Veneguera is one of those surprises that make me pull the car over, pull the hand brake and run out with the camera and the drone :)
- Puerto de las Nieves in Agaete, Gran Canaria, is one of the most charming coastal towns on the Canarian island that is worth visiting for a few days of rest and relaxation.
Its spectacular landscapes (The El Dedo de Dios Monument), warm climate, leisure sites, and natural pools make the Puerto de las Nieves in Gran Canaria an appetizing stop to enjoy the best sailor’s style of the archipelago.
- Tufia hamlet is famous for it's existential battle against the Spanish government. Its beach, tiny as it is, is the headquarters of resistance.
Little more than a cluster of whitewashed houses by the sea, Tufia is far more shabby than chic and only has a chiringuito bar during the summer. However, it's become a battleground between the Spanish government and residents.
Built without permission in the 1960s in an area that is now a nature reserve, almost all of Tufia's 90 houses are scheduled for demolition. The locals are fighting to protect their seaside homes and have even arranged international art festivals to publicise their fight. It'll take a brave politician to send in the bulldozers as Tufia is a cause celebré amongst Gran Canaria's alternative crowd.
- This neighbourhood in the Gáldar municipality promises fun right down the street, since that’s where you’ll find both the thoroughfare and the sea. Native painter and expressionist Antonio Padrón used to spend summers with his family on the beach of Sardina del Norte.
This paradise in the north of Gran Canaria has Sardina Beach, several piers, Roqueta beach, and Barranquillo del Vino, where expert swimmers bathe. The Sardina Lighthouse area is ideal for diving, spearfishing, and hiking. Skirting the coast from there, you’ll reach the town of Gáldar.

Gran Canaria Top Places to Visit 2023 - Arguineguin - Las Palmas - Galdar - Firgas (ENGLISH SUB.)
This vlog takes you to the magical island of Gran Canaria, where we first visit Hotel Bull Dorada Beach & Spa in Arguineguin. After that we will take our rental vehicle to the north side of the island and visit the old quarter of Vegueta and then go to the heart of Las Palmas to the wonderful Las Canteras beach.
The northern part of the island is a place worth visiting and there are several nice villages and we will visit the best of them; in Galdar and Firgas. I also get the experience of the coldest beach in Gran Canaria.
This vlog is in Finnish with English subtitles.
Please note that after publishing this vlog, I found out that Gran Canaria's name comes from the aboriginal Canarii tribe.
More information about the island:
**
Tämä vlog vie sinut taianomaiselle Gran Canarian saarelle, jossa vierailemme ensin Hotelli Bull Dorada Beach & Spa:ssa Arguineguinissa. Tämän jälkeen lähdemme vuokra-ajoneuvollamme saaren pohjoispuolelle ja vierailemme Veguetan vanhassa korttelissa ja sen jälkeen menemme Las Palmasin sydämeen upealle Las Canterasin rannalle.
Saaren pohjoisosa on käymisen arvoinen paikka ja siellä on useita mukavia kyliä ja vierailemme niistä parhaimmissa; Galdarissa ja Firgasissa. Saan myös kokemuksen Gran Canarian kylmimmältä rannalta.
Enemmän infoa saaresta:
Huomioithan, että sain tämän vlogin julkaisemisen jälkeen tiedon, että Gran Canarian nimi tulee aborginaalien Canarii heimosta.

SARDINA DEL NORTE, GRAN CANARIA | Sardina Lighthouse, Fresh Seafood, Swimming at Sardina Beach
We're fans of the road less travelled when it comes to holiday destinations and Sardina del Norte did not disappoint. In this weeks video we visit the Punta Sardina Lighthouse at the North West tip of Gran Canaria and also the laid back but beautiful beach at Sardina ???? A favourite amongst locals. We dine on freshly caught seafood ???? ???? at La Pizarra, the ideal spot for sundowners while in the north of Gran Canaria ????
We also visit La Trastienda de Chago in Galdar and wow wow wow!! It did not disappoint. The food was phenomenal and the toilet, very cool! (and we don't often say that about toilets!) ????

Gáldar Gran Canaria - Exploring This Beautiful Canary Island Town - 4K
Welcome to the beautiful town of Gáldar, Gran Canaria. The first guanartemes or kings of the island decided to live in Gáldar or Agáldar there by 1483. The town maintains much of its ancient architecture, being one of the few Canarian cities that conserve part of the pre-Hispanic heritage. Take a walk with me today and explore the historic centre, some of the sights include Parroquia de Santiago Apóstol, Plaza De Santiago & Teatro Consistorial de Gáldar. There are some really beautiful statues along the way and you may also catch glimpses of the incredible mountains that over look Gáldar in the distance.
I created Come Walk Life as a place to share information, experiences & atmospheric journeys in interesting places. By subscribing to our channel you are supporting Come Walk Life and motivating me to continue to create these beautiful tours. Thank you for your support.
Binaural Audio - Our videos feature binaural directional audio which means you hear the surroundings as I heard them, the best way to experience this is by wearing earphones/headphones.
