We went once many years ago.
you two work great together, about time you made a honest lady of our lauren😳
Great snapshot of the island, the fact you went off - piste has made it one of the best Gran Canaria videos I've seen for a long time. We always hire a motorcycle and tour all round, it's an amazing island. Great video guys!
Wow thanks so much that’s such a compliment. Glad you enjoyed it and nice to see so many people passionate about Gran Canaria also!
As someone who has lived in Gran Canaria their whole life it was lovely to see the island from another perspective, even though it was a bit rushed, I hope you both enjoyed your stay. Gracias!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it! Yes a little rushed but hopefully I'll get to come back in my own time at some point.
Loved my holiday in Gran Canaria in 2020 before the world stopped. We stayed in the south but traveled the island 😎 Glad you enjoyed your time there. 😊
Habéis hecho un gran y completo recorrido por nuestra isla..gracias por compartirlo y q la gente sepa d las maravillas d nuestra tierra👍👍
That purple veggie looks like Kohlrabi. Great video.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you 🙏🏼
Awesome trip!
With all that 'liquid lunch' available, looked like one to remember.
Good stuff.
Great vlog , thankyou. Stayed in Maspalomas many years ago, remember the sand dunes! 😃😃😃😃
You're awesome. I'm from Gran Canaria and you've really shown a taste of what the island is really like.
That’s great to hear. Thanks so much!
Just some info. The Canary Islands were not named after the birds it was the other way around. Gran Canaria is from Gran Canine or big dog island. The Spanish found the only mammals on the island were big dogs and rabbits so named the Canine Islands. Another interesting fact Canary wharf in London got its name because it's situated on the Isle of Dogs.
PS I have lived here for over 15 years now originally from Leeds.
Love this! 🙌🏼
Gran Canaria, un continente en miniatura.🤩😍🥰👍👏👏
Loved the video. Lived in Las Palmas for a couple of years. Can’t wait to revisit.
If you ever go there again you must check out Roque Nublo and El Buffadero in La Garita.
In my time there gutted I never got to visit the Arehucas rum factory but deffo will next time I’m over.
So glad you guys enjoyed it there. Gran Canaria is somewhere I feel deeply connected to. 😍🥰🥰😍
Wooww!!! As a Canarian that I am, thank you very much for this video, it is very nice to see that other areas of the island are shown. I loved the explanations you have given of each place. They generally only take to the tourists to the south of the island, but Gran Canaria is some more than just beaches. Perhaps the excursions were a bit rushed, and there were many different places to visit, but I understand that there was not enough time for much more. I hope they come back and get to know the rest of me lovely island. I really liked your vlog, I have subscribed! Sorry for my English, is very bad!! I hope see you soon again here! 🥰👏👏🌞🌞🌞🌞
Aw this makes me very happy and proud to hear. Thanks so much for the support and glad you enjoyed the vlog!
Wow that was a whirlwind trip you had!! Have you recovered yet🥰 Looks so beautiful out there, never been to Spain or Portugal, might have to check it out after seeing this😉
Haha just about but currently on our next trip and it’s going to be a very big one! 😍 ahh yeh we’d love to do more of Spain and Portugal! Hear so much good about them both ☀️
Loved the family vineyards you went to. It looked so beautiful. 🐱 X
They were such a good laugh!
We need more videos from yous two. Love watching yous two 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers mate!
Your video is great! This will be an inspiration for my new journey !!!
Thanks so much Monika!
Incredible views in this one. I think I'd need a week off to recover from such a whirlwind trip though.
Haha we had exactly a week before we flew to our next destination…awesome vlog to follow!
Hiya, what a great trip. Great video. Good vibes. Love the Benidorm ref. 😆Have a great week.
Thanks nicky! Glad you enjoyed it x
fantastic vlog it looks like jerassica park a bit the views have a good one xx
Ah, loved catching up on your travels. I bet you need a sleep after all that. Love ok forward to seeing more. X
Lads, I am exhausted,that was one very trip for the two of ye. Hope ye enjoyed the rest and chill at the pool.
As a local, I have to say I loved your vlog! Especially the fact you knew the differences between Gran Canaria (name of the island), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (capital town) and Las palmas (province), cause even locals here get those last two wrong. It was also a nice surprise to see the capital for a change, as most tourist people just go to the south 99% of the time. Well done!
Ahh this is awesome to hear! Thanks so much Beck. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
I think them tanks are a bit bigger than 31 litres mate😜. great vlog as always Charles, keep em coming, love you guys, so cheeky and cheerful.
Great vlog. It is an amazing place. Only been there once. Yumbo centre and the Dunes but that’s a whole different vlog 🤪. And what a cliffhanger. Where u off to next ?! Can’t wait now. Best wishes.
Haha bet that was a fun trip! Ahh mate you’ll have to wait until Sunday but it’s a bloody brilliant one!
What busy bees you two were! Great vlog as usual...I feel Lauren with hair and wind struggles....lop gloss is a big no, lol. The dog story is brilliant 💕 and oh the sea, I'm blessed to live in Cornwall and the reason I'm late to this is we've been beaching it with the hot weather, sea temp is on point! Looking forward to "the big one' next 😁
Thanks so much! Haha always the hair in face problem. Aw niceee. My parents are down their now in the camper so glad the weathers been hot! Currently on our next trip as I reply to this so vlog should be up Sunday
The purple one looks like Kohlrabi, also called German turnip…same fam as cabbage, broccoli, kale, sprouts, can be eaten, both raw and cooked. It is delicious steamed, sautéed, roasted, stuffed, creamed, in soup or stew, and eaten raw….love the vlog …Great memories of sailing to las Palmas 🙏
YOUUUU MY ISLAND💖💖💖In love w our environment and culture
Loved Gran Canaria! 🇪🇸 🙌🏼
great trip roco negra is my favourite hotel
You guys are so busy man. Love it rrrrespec 😝
Loved the vlog brilliant
Hello traveling friends. 👋Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Thank you for sharing your videos and experiences.😊 To Enjoy life !!!❤
Thanks so much mate. Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Charlie. Great vlog but looks like it was a whirlwind visit. You crammed a lot in in a short space of time. Not sure anyone else has commented but the woodpecker was actually a hoopoe. A lovely bird rarely seen in the UK so a great spot on your part. Looking forward to your next adventure 😎😎
Aw thanks a lot Patricia. Yes they killed us with the itinerary on this one but still a great trip! Haha yep I’ve learned a new bird for sure. Next one is going to be huge!!
Another great trip .
Great video as always, be safe
I keep repeating myself but you are such a cute couple. It is no wonder these places invite you to visit and promote them. It seemed you became more and more relaxed through the video, I hope you enjoyed yourself.
Thanks so much mate that’s lovey to hear.
Hi Charlie, loving the videos. Sorry for being nosey but is there a reason you don't drink? Any van trips planned? Loved your NC500 series. Keep up the great work, love it!
Thanks mate! So growing up I was always boxing 🥊 therefore never took up drinking, and then as I got older I just didn’t see the need for it. No judgement on those that do though! Ahh NC500 was class. Would love to hit Wales or Ireland this summer! 🙌🏼
This was great and informative. You sure did cover a lot. So is this what you do now (sorry if I missed something) you travel for tourism ideas. Fab
Ah glad you enjoyed it! Yep that’s it. Promote destinations for tourism boards and marketing teams.
Thanks for the long video
Hari OM
Well, that was fun! Frenetic, but fun. I think others have confirmed the purple is Kohlrabi - has someone mentioned that last bird is actually a Hoopoe? One of my favourite things I ever did was tour a sugar factory, so I get that you enjoyed the rum production. Well done you two! YAM xx
Haha thanks yam! Yep learn about kohlrabi and hoopoe now thanks to everyone 🙌🏼 ah it was so interesting!!
Very good. When are you two coming to Ireland to do The Wild Atlantic Way?
It’s on the list for sure!!
great VLOG the bird wasn't a woodpecker it was a hoopoe. Great to see your having a fantastic time
Haha thanks! Had an awesome trip!
What a whirlwind tour…. Still a great vlog and Lauren is as mad as a hatter😂😜😁gotta love her tho. Ps…. The bird isn’t a woodpecker… it is a woopoe. Great looking bird. 🙏👍
Haha she sure is! Yesss. Massive fail but at least I’ve learnt a new bird!
@@CharliePauly you gotta see if you can get an invite to Lapland from Santa!!!!! That would be amazing!!💕👍
Greetings from Gran Canaria😎😘😘
It's a shame we didn't bump into each other. Just spent a week in alcudia, Las palmas. Leaving tomorrow. Nice vlog, keep up the good work 😆
Ah thanks a lot. Hope you enjoyed it!
Whats the name of the bar with the sunset view? Looks beautiful!
Did I not mention it in the vlog? I can’t remember without watching it.
14:31 the veg is turnip cabbage ( kohlrabi ).
so wonderful really beautiful video friend
Which banana plantation did you guys visit? The one with the smoothie cake and banana wine.
Damn did I not mention the name in the video? I honestly can’t remember on the top of my head
@@CharliePauly I’ll let you know if I somehow visit the same place. Thank you for all the other information. Cheers.
Hey brother what tour group did you use to take you to all those awesome spots
This whole trip was organised by the tourism board so they handled the logistics sorry I can’t help
Chicory is the purple plant, I think
That hotel name was ventiuno, it is twenty-one in spanish
Wow I feel exhausted just watching you rushing about. I should think you need all that food to give you energy. Surprised Lauren kept going with alcohol and no siesta after! That family run place looked like the best place to visit, what lovely people.
Haha thank you! Usually people complain that we eat too much but trust me the energy gets burned. Yesss awesome little local spot!
Just found your channel g8 video the purple veg was kohl rabi can be eaten raw or put in stir fries got a taste of water chestnut 🌰
Thanks for that! Learn something new every day haha. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Check out Anfi Del Mar - its fantastic
I think that purple beetroot is actually a Kohlrabi
Thanks!
Nice video. Just been reading the comments to see if anyone said what the tree was, I think it was an apple tree but that's a bit of a guess. Can't believe there are people who insist on negative stupid comments
Ah thanks mate haha probably was an apple tree! I knowww, you’ll always get the odd idiot.
U guys should of went to Puerto Rico and Mogan we try to go to gran canaria every year.
Maybe next time 👌🏼
The purple one is a kohl rabbi.
Ive been going to Gran Canaria for 12 years straight and have never seen rain haha
Haha sounds about right!
Them tanks looked a tad bigger than 31liters 🤦♂️😂🙏
Haha you know what I mean.
Is this paid for Instagramy trip? That's so cool I just heard that's a thing 👍🤓
Yes that’s the one. Most of the press trips I’m on I’m paid to promote the destination through my Instagram/RUclips channels.
Fantastic video... not a Woodpecker it's a Hoopoe.
Why on earth don’t we have more than 26k in our Charlie and Lauren family! Come on people get on board!!
Haha thanks so much mate really appreciate your support.
Definitely Kohlrabi
So behind, catching up now.
Haha appreciate it!
Welcome!! 17:36.
I think that bird is a Hoopoo
The vegetable is kohlrabi.
What company did you guys use for the tour for the Volcano tour 😊
We used a guy called Guillermo official guide 🙌🏼
@@CharliePauly thank you!
When are you going back to being on your boat. I loved those vlogs xx
We stay in the between trips but not much to vlog at the minute as we’re constantly on the move travelling which is great.
@@CharliePauly awww ok. Exciting for you travelling.
Meet the fockers🤣
😂😂
Apupu bird or Abubilla
A lot of people don’t realise that if you go far enough in, the sand dunes are a massive gay cruising and nudist area. It’s definitely given people a few shocks over the years 😂.
Haha damn! I missed out on that.
I was the 69th like.....(sorry) great video as per usual.
😅 love this childish behaviour!
Nice but very fast paist, almost racing from spot to spot. Some incredible looking food. Lauren always crossing between funny face or a sexy pose. Groovy and weird looking hotel rooms on this trip. Cutes dogs a much. Lauren, how do you keep walking with mixing all the boozes like you do. Enjoyable video; look forward to the next one.
Haha thanks mate. Yeh a real shame how fast paced the trip was. She’s a babe isn’t she 😅 glad you enjoyed it!
@@CharliePauly You two are adorable.
Feel proper educated 🔥
It’s Mr Pauly from now on!
That nose thing is sooo attractive
Thanks. I agree
WTF is going on with Louis left big toe ... 😱🤔
😂 what’s wrong with it?
another paid holiday not a bad life eah
If only it was a holiday 😅
Love your videos but why do I get the impression that you spend most of your time eating? It is a wonder you are not overweight !! By the way you missed half of Gran Canaria- I know because I have been four times.
Haha I like to document what I eat. And there’s only so much of the island you can cover in 4 days!
@@CharliePauly If you plan to go again Palmitos Park, which is a zoo-themed botanical park, is a must. Also go and see the lighthouse at Faro du Maspalamos, which is close to the hotel you stayed at. It's a useful reference point so you don't get lost when walking round that area.
Curious but you don’t have to answer.... why doesn’t Charlie drink alcohol?
No worries at all. Grew up boxing 🥊 so never took it up as a youngster and then never felt the need as I got older.
@@CharliePauly cheers bud, good on you!
I don't know if you have ever said this before on your channel but
Why are you teetotal Charlie? because as a person that enjoys consuming alcohol every now and then its interesting that someone of your age doesn't
Hey mate. I get asked a lot and don’t mind answering. I grew up boxing 🥊 so never took it up as I was always training and competing. Then as I got older I didn’t see the need or interest in it. No judgement to those who do though. Lauren makes up for me 😅
Sorry, but 4 days is just TOO SHORT !!! I go here around 10 days, 2 times a year, for at least 30 years, and I have still a LOT to see !
Gran Canaria just RULES !!! You need at least 9 days !!!
Haha can totally appreciate that!
dog=can=canaria
Not a good travelogue of Gran Canaria. It's more about the travellers than the sites. Boring.
This isn’t Nat Geo it’s the Charlie Pauly channel
