Synopsis

This Berlitz Pocket Guide is packed with all the information you need to enjoy Gran Canaria, in a genuinely pocketable format. Places to go are explored within easy-to-use, colour-coded sections, so you can locate the information you need at a glance. The island s top attractions are conveniently identified to help you plan your trip and to ensure you see the most spectacular views, such as that from Mirador del Balcon, experience the pristine dunes of Maspalomas and visit the prettiest beaches and towns. From Las Palmas and the southern resorts to the central peaks and mountainous interior, all areas are covered in depth alongside full-colour photographs that give a highly visual introduction to the island and its diversity. Full colour fold-out maps provide instant orientation wherever you are and include a street plan of Las Palmas. A concise history chapter and the handy cultural tips throughout the guide combine to give you a deeper understanding of Gran Canaria s past and present, from its beginnings as Land of the Brave to the age of mass tourism. There has been a distinct shift towards the development of rural tourism aimed at helping visitors discover the island s cultural heritage, which is based on more than just sun, sea and sand. Whilst the beautiful beaches are still a draw to the island, this guide also details the many other things to do, from water sports and jeep safaris to duty-free shopping and walking the royal parks . There are also plenty of ideas for how to keep the children occupied, including opening times for local water parks and contact telephone numbers. The 'Eating Out' chapter recommends local specialities and provides full listings for all the best places to eat and drink, including useful Spanish phrases to help you read the menu and place your orders. Further Spanish phrases can be found on the back cover flap, ideal for quick reference. The comprehensive 'Travel Tips' section provides an A-Z summary of all the expert practical advice you will need, including reliable recommendations of hotels to suit all budgets, information on health, transport, climate and currency, tips for travellers with disabilities and much more. Small in size but big on content, this guide will help you truly get to the heart of this fascinating island and all it has to offer.
