Favorite Views of the World View: Roque Nublo

One of my favorite views has got to be the top of the Roque Nublo, or the “Cloudy rock”. One of the highest parts of Gran Canaria, one of the Spanish Canary islands west of the Moroccon coast, can be reached with a pleasant 45 minute hike. Just stepping onto the plain top with the two massive volcanic remnants is amazing. They still look so small but after walking the last bit you just are in awe because of their sheer size.

I hope this photo does it justice.

11 Pages Gran Canaries in REIZEN Magazine

Sep 302008

Eleven pages from one of the nicest islands I have been to: the spectacularly beautiful Gran Canaria. For some reason 99% of the tourists stay in the horrible concrete and beach misery of the Playa del Inglés and other soutside resorts while the rest of the island is a heaven of beauty and peace.

For the largest travel Magazine in the Netherlands, ANWB REIZEN, we did a report on six of the many fantastic nature walks that you can do. Keep an eye open on my website for a Favorite Views, coming later this year from Gran Canaria.

For a lot more info, visit the REIZEN website with the Gran Canaria article and the details of the six walks and a couple of amzing car trips.
