What to expect
Expect a full day navigating Gran Canaria's mountainous backbone. The route involves significant elevation change and switchback roads—bring motion-sickness tablets if prone to them. You'll stop frequently to walk through villages, visit churches, and take in panoramic vistas from higher points. The driver knows the quieter routes and local stories. Walking distances vary but remain manageable; sturdy footwear helps on cobbled streets and uneven terrain. Bring your own packed lunch or eat in a village (at your expense) and pace yourself; the driving itself takes several hours.
Good to know
Winding roads are unsuitable for vertigo sufferers. Not ideal if you have cardiovascular concerns. Minimum four people required if departing Las Palmas. Lunch and drinks are your responsibility—budget accordingly. The tour suits ages 12–90; those comfortable with walking uphill on village streets will get the most from it.
