We love strolling around in cute little towns and neighbouhoods so for us Vegueta, Arucas and Teror are the places we are most excited to visit in the future. Love the wooden balconies in Teror. But to be honest I think we would like to visit all of the places you feature. Tobas de colores and Mirador del Balcon are stunning and impressive! Great video, very well edited!

Love that you put together a list of all the best places to visit in Gran Canaria.

@meneliel Год назад

@@VeganVoyagers Exactly, to the United States, which is a country within America. America is the whole continent. For some reason people from United States took the 'America' name to name their country and decided to call the rest: 'The Americas'. But the original name of the WHOLE continent is America ;-) The name of America is after the Italian Merchant Explorer Amerigo Vespucci (In Spanish: Americo) who participated in at least two voyages of the Age of Discovery, first on behalf of Spain (1499-1500) and then for Portugal (1501-1502). In 1503 and 1505, two booklets were published under his name, containing colourful descriptions of these explorations and other alleged voyages. Both publications were extremely popular and widely read across much of Europe. (Wikipedia) The continent was named America after his wide exploration and documentation of the Continent.

July until September is the best in terms of temperature. September you will avoid school holidays around Europe which makes it better. But the whole year round is perfect for traveling around the island but it might be too cold to really also enjoy the water activities.

@Svenywhere 3 года назад

I understand and know indeed that geographically it is more Africa. But even if you visit the continent Africa it doesn't look like this at all. Also the other ones you mentioned will take you a much longer flight to get there from Europe. So probably already gives you more the feeling you aren't in Europe anymore.

History has shown us that he didn’t ‘discover’ America/South America/Caribbean, there were people who went from Europe before him.

He travelled there only for the purposes of exploitation & to prove the Earth wasn’t flat, had little to do with curiosity & discovery.
