Gran Canarias no es todo lo que ustedes ven solo sacan lo que les conviene a los interesdos por sacar dinero la realidad es otra abandono pobreza susiedad llevenlos al turimos aver cómo están los barios de las islas y no vienen mas a visitarnos en total abandono de limpieza de hinjiene todos los barios en estado de abandono total solo gravan lo que les conviene Dese una vuelta por los barios de la ciudad y no se creerán la basura que hay total estado de abandono no Engañar al turista esa no es la realidad sólo son muy bonitas pero muy susias la verdad no ofende
An important note! Like in many places in Spain most shops close on Sundays and for lunch (13-15) so you won't find much to do in the big cities, definitely use Sundays to go enjoy some nature
Hi! I am from Gran Canaria and I am delighted to see what people from other countries of the Canary Islands think. Obviously I know English but I am a Canarian at heart❤
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.
Barbers ancients; )
@@apokaliptika2663 that's not been my experience, I think you may have met a couple of bad ones. Most canarians are lovely.
@@apokaliptika2663 all of them?? How ignorant can you be to say something like this. 🤡
@@apokaliptika2663 what? That’s a lie. I’m a foreigner from Romania but I have lived in England for 20 years. I have went to 70 different countries Abdul have never met someone who believes that. Keep your opinion to yourself
Very well done. I especially liked the brief Spanish lesson at the end and the origins of the language on the islands.
Great video..😃👍🇸🇪❤️
Thank you for this video 👍
Many thanks for the Video. So excited about this island. Do hope to visit it soon
LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA is a great base for the Island..I ALWAYS stay at HOTEL PARQUE off San Telmo
explore !..there is more to the island than YUMBO CENTRE.
La isla es gran canaria
Excellent video and tips! Muchas gracias!❤
Super nice! Heading there on Jan06 for my Birthday! Love the island and the language. Thank you !
What a great video. There is so much more to Gran Canaria than I thought. The dunes look amazing.
Gracias Basil 😀 So glad you enjoyed it. The dunes are very impressive 🤩 I recommend visiting early morning 👍🏻
Heading to Las Palmas for a 3rd time end of January 😊 I love it 😍
Any suggestions? Can be food or a beach or activities! My first visit is next week!
Hi ! We was in Gran Canaria recently and it was wonderful 😍Thanks for video
Planning a trip in October. Thanks for a glimpse of the Island!
My pleasure 🙏So glad you enjoyed it.
Superb video. Many thanks. When, in a few weeks time, we stay at Maspalomas, from where we usually take a trip to the beautiful village of Fataga, or the little town of San Bartolomé, we may go on to Tejeda. The views from there, shown in the video, looked fabulous.
i’m going to gran canaria next week thursday! I can’t wait
Amazing! Have a wonderful time
planning a trip to Gran Canaria w my SO in May! this is the first vid i came across and clicked on, so glad i did! great vid
Great guide and great spanish lessons from the guy!
Thank you so much 😊
Love your voice! Great videos. Keep them coming.
I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you for your kind words and support :)
Fantastic video!
great video. I hope you have other travel videos. Im wondering which Canary to visit first, as a solo visitor.
Wonderful!
Great video! Deserves more views.
I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you for your kind words and support :)
Great video.
Thank you 😊
Visiting next week 😊
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
Very nice video
This is so good
My pleasure 😇 So glad you enjoyed it 😀
Very good job! I missed a visit to Mogán, I find that village quaint.
Sure is, never stopped there, but drove around it and it’s very Nice.
What would February be like? Still able to swim in the ocean?
Going in December January, so this was a great introduction. It's the lizards I'm going for mainly but some other wildlife is good.
Very well
Katja Schuurman bedankt!
I'm from the Gran Canaria and it's great to see my island getting some love and not just the south being advertised! 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!)
On June eleventh I will visit the island for a week. I will be staying in a hotel in Puerto Rico. What do you think about this place?
Can i rent a car what are the prices for this service?
Love much Teneriffa...good presentation.
Excellent
viva espania viva gran canaria
I’m going to visit soon! I also noticed my last name Bucio is pretty common in the Canary Island hoping to learn about my genealogy.
Love much Teneriffa.... good presentation.Excellent
Hello, do you do any travel information on Spain, please ??
Love gran canaria stayed in masplamoas last year me and the other half wants to retire therw
What forms of transportation are there. Can we Hire vehicles scooters etc?.Are there boat rides. How much do they cost. Are there parks to visit. where are the streets and little shops and cafes and markets. What’s the nightlife like for all ages, clubbing or dining.
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.
Good recommendations! A note on the sunday thing, like in many places in spain most shops close on sundays and for lunch (13-15) so thats probably why you didnt find much to do, definitely use Sundays to go enjoy some nature
@@raulsantana9415 yupp, are you canarian?
It's great to know you clocked loads of miles polluting the island but wasn't happy with your salads
@@JL-nk1pc 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
How's the cost of living?
And please tell me where i search my bed
Beautifully done…BUT WHERE IS EVERYBODY? There are precious few people anywhere in this video. Maybe that’s its charm, no tourists?
Thank you 😊 I film early in the day to avoid crowds and the heat. I also wait for people to leave the shot before filming
16.26 haha you mean it 'seemingly' empties into the Atlantic. that would be quite a water bill otherwise !
Juba 2 was the grandson of Massinissa, the Numidian king with his capital Cirta (Constantine, east of Algeria). Juba 2 was buried in cherchell ( east of capital Algiers). Not be confused with current Mauretania.
... Qué....???????
@@mariajesusrodriguezbetanco8441what what ?
Hlo mam i am coming in bristol next month i need a one bed near UWE please help me to find under one bed room rent under 350 pounds

En août 2024 jivai Inshallah 🙌🏻
Chapter markers anyone?
I’m from Gran Canaria therefore I have no idea why I’m watching this
Jai hate d visiter cet île 🏝️ 😊🇲🇦
Hi from Bangladesh how to go there
Google maps say, by foot u just need 2237 hours even through u gona need to swim a little bit sometimes. I suggest u to throw each meter a little back stones on the way so that u find ur way back. Enjoy!
😂
They don’t want you there pal
I think u took a wrong map.
There is no western sahara its moroccan sahara and it’s one country
music too loud
I have to say I was a bit put off by the cheerful tone when describing what was basically a genocide around 8:30. Other than that interesting.
Perhaps you could include a link to one of the museums covering the history in your next edition. Museo Canario in Vegueta is one sample.
Genocide?
If the origin of the current canaries is analyzed. Between 50 and 60% of the genes are aboriginal; that is, from the Berber populations.
Not a fan of Christopher Columbus.
Am so sad b/c it is Africa not Europe
You are dividing our map there is noting called Western Sharah, there is only Morocco. Have some respect to our history, those who call them selves western sharanians are not even Berbers. Dima Maghrib
So basically its a desert...
Couldn’t be more wrong…GC is absolutely lush up in the hills. Loads of forest areas. Totally different to the lowlands. Worth a look,🎉
