Walking

From all-day treks through the fragrant pine forests to peaceful strolls between beaches, there's great walks in Gran Canaria for everyone.

We focus on walks that are circular or have good transport links because we find that many of the recommended mountain hikes in Gran Canaria are hard to do unless you have two cars or pay for long taxi rides.  

Walking season in Gran Canaria runs from September to May but you can walk throughout the year. During the summer it's best to start at dawn and finish before midday.  Always check the weather conditions before setting out as Gran Canaria almost 2000 metres high and the weather in the highlands varies from below freezing up to 40ºC.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
