      People from other countries think that people of the canary islands is extremely rude and misogynist. No, we don't think you are nice or kind. We think you are violent to women travelling alone.

    Good guise! I was born in Gran Canaria and I love my island. It is a place where you need a push, like yours though to go explore fantastic places. The whole east side of the island from Las Palmas to the south is not pretty and as a tourist, this is mainly what you see but there is so much beauty elsewhere its astonishing. I took my son there and we went exploring the micro climates from El Sur up though Fataga, then Roque Nublo and then down to Las Palmas. He will never forget it.

  • @Mario-cr1ik
    @Mario-cr1ik 9 місяців тому +3

    14:44 is incorrect, Roque Nublo is not the highest point of Gran Canaria.
    It's height is 1813m, making it the third highest, behind Morro de la Agujereada with 1956m and Pico de las Nieves with 1949m

Next time check that you're pronouncing stuff properly with locals though, cause most of the stuff you said in spanish was really off jajaja hope I'm not being too blunt (it was cool to include Guillermo though so people watching can pronounce stuff properly!)

    Made my first trip to GC last october, rented a car for 3 days and did 600km around the island.
    I highly recomend Fataga, a small village full of artists, straight north from Maspalomas.
    Also take road GC-200 to Los Caserones, park there and go down to the beach and THEN go back and south through the Rubén Diaz park to a stone beach and enjoy the waves.
    For some reason every sallad I had on the island was a disappointment, maybe because I didn’t have sallad for main course, but still, very basic and boring.
    Hope I was just unlucky.
    We went through Las Palmas on a Sunday noon, NO traffic, NO one out and almost no restaurants open.
    For the driving it was great, but a bit boring when the town was empty.
    I stayed at El Greco in Puerto Rico, the closest hotel to the beach. Great hotel with great service. But next time I’ll try one on the top of the mountain.
