What I Can Share with Hosts

I recently moved into a new apartment (really small, only one room, but first line on the beach) and I can only share the only double bed.
So I only guest 1 person at the time and I really select my guests, basing on their profiles and their application message.

Here you can read my personal suggestions about what to see in Gran Canaria :

Here my best advises about what to see in Gran Canaria:
1) Roque Nublo
is one of the 2 highest spot in the island, about 2000m, amazing view, good for a day excursion in the mountains, it takes about 1 hour by car from Las Palmas, more 30 min easy walking, bring your water and food, tennis shoes and some warm clothes in case is not sunny.

2) Maspalomas Dunes
Is probably the most famous place in the island, is a big natural park with dunes of sand, quite impressive, nice to relax, sun bathing, taking photos. All the area around is very touristic and crowded, so I don't like very much, but the dunes deserve a visit. You can visit this and other places in the south in the same day if you don't loose too much tome )

3) Las Palmas
Is the main city and capital, the only real city of all the islands, not much touristic, you can visit here
- Las Canteras beach (where I live)
- Vegueta, old town with cathedral and tapas bars (every Thursday night big movida here)
- Triana, commercial street in the old town
- Las Isleta + El Confital , small village and wild beach right next to the city
- Jardín Botánico (Botanic Garden), amazing garden of Cactus, Aloe and Palms trees from all over the world, 15 min out of the city

4) Agaete + Puerto de las Nieves
Nice fishersmen village out of main touristic stream, with good restaurants (El Dedo de Dios is my suggestion) and amazing view on the west coast

5) Puerto de Mogan
The las village in the south, touristic but quite nice, especially the small marina, in colonial style

Same day you could also stop in Amadores and Anfi del Mar , if you like these kind of articial beaches.

6) Playa de Güigüí
a virgo beach, reachable only on foot, about 8Km walking, suitable for a night stand in tent, if you like the trekking/free camping style

6) some extra ideas:
- rent a car a do a complete circle trip of the island ( 1 day ), really nice panoramic viewpoints
- visit the Arehucas Rum Distillery in Arucas, with a huge degustation included in the small fee (only in the morning), and the cathedral of the same town
