Inside the Gran Canaria Marco Polo Travel Handbook:
Sun, sand and more… Four hours away by plane and the sun is shining and the beach awaits… but the coast is not the only attraction of the island. If you take a tour of the interior you will find yourself in a dramatic mountain wilderness.
The Marco Polo Handbook to Gran Canaria guides you across the sunny Atlantic island, which will enthrall you with its magnificent beaches, green mountains and round-the-clock recreation activities. With its attractive sandy beaches, Gran Canaria is considered the perfect holiday destination and the island’s interior is remarkably untouched. The Background chapter lets you find out more about the diverse nature of the island, its history, economy and culture, and about the locals and their everyday lives.
Discover & Understand: Our innovative infographics condense large amounts of data into a format which is easy to understand.

Experience & Enjoy: All the things which make a trip unforgettable: from eating and drinking, shopping, sightseeing, museums & galleries, staying the night, travelling with children, festivals and going out in the evening.
