Leaving Tenerife's volcanic peak behind, the crossing to Gran Canaria takes you across open Atlantic water before the island's mountainous interior comes into view. Arriving at Las Palmas, the old town's Vegueta district and its Gothic cathedral are an easy walk from the port, while the golden dunes of Maspalomas, a striking desert landscape backed by the sea, are a scenic drive south. The mountain village of Tejeda, set among volcanic rock formations, rewards those willing to head inland, and Las Canteras beach in the capital is one of Europe's best urban beaches for surfing and swimming alike.
