Gran Canaria Island Tour with Tour2B in San Bartolomé

Set off on a fascinating journey through Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands’ most striking landscapes, located just off the northwest coast of Africa under Spanish rule. Tour2B’s "Descubre la isla de Gran Canaria" presents an immersive day tour departing from San Bartolomé de Tirajana, with convenient hotel pickup at Barceló Margaritas. This experience combines the island’s raw natural beauty with authentic village culture, giving visitors a layered sense of place.

The tour rides through a contrasting topography, starting with routes to the historic towns of Arucas and Teror, where colonial architecture and local markets reveal Canary Island traditions. The rugged volcanic origins of Gran Canaria create eye-catching terrains, especially at Roque Nublo, a monolithic rock formation soaring over 1,800 meters. Its volcanic roots and dramatic vista make it a must-see symbol of the island’s geologic story.

Midway, the itinerary leads into the verdant Fataga Valley, whose fertile land, shaded ravines, and quaint hamlets offer a lush contrast to the island’s arid coasts. This valley is a living example of Gran Canaria’s microclimates, showcasing endemic flora and the remnants of ancient agricultural life under protection from nature’s elements.
