A wind-scoured promontory opens into the Atlantic and the bus eases along a road carved into the cliff—Gran Canaria announces itself with sudden panoramas. Participants disembark to feel warm sand underfoot at the island’s famous dunes, stroll a marina where whitewashed facades lean toward the sea, and press close to a glass viewing shelf that lets the ocean demand attention.
