The natural environment which the Island of Gran Canaria offers its inhabitants and visitors make it worthy of the name "miniature continent".

It is well known that Gran Canaria is the perfect place to escape to in the winter with its 128 beaches and 24ºC average temperature all year round. Pero son pocos los que conocen la zona centro montañosa, que es un paraíso para la práctica del mountain bike. But very few people are aware of the central mountainous area, providing mountain biking paradise. Gran Canaria is a miniature continent with a privileged eco-system. It has 32 natural protected areas, 8 nature reserves and around 100 native plant species. In Gran Canaria you can witness the evolving flora – the island is as important for scientists in terms of botany as the Galapagos Islands is for zoology.
