Good morning everyone! Welcome to Gran Canaria! My name is Elena, I have lived on the island for 5 years, in Spain for more than 15 years. I speak Spanish and English fluently. I have a higher philological education. I love history and travel. On the island, I traveled and studied everything on my own. I read a lot of specialized literature on the history of the neighbors, the culture and the gastronomy. This miniature continent can be known from different sides and will open up to you in different ways. A historic old town or a modern port, small and cozy rural villages, majestic mountains and volcano craters or a piece of the real Sahara - the Dunes, or maybe you want to see the Canarian Venice or the cave house where the locals still live? And try Canarian cuisine? I invite you to an individual tour of the island of more...
