Gran Can's better bits!


Two things about the nature of the island strike you as different from Fuerte! First is that although there are also mountains throughout the interior they are not as stark and have green vegetation. The second is that - having been developed for much longer - there are far more and more healthy palms. They are everywhere and are meticulously maintained. As we stood at a bus-stop we saw the attached:- a worker shinning up a tall one to trim it. In Corralejo palms are put up in places where they die - or they overhang the cycle paths and are never trimmed! Get a grip - Mayor Claudina!
And the cycling provision is excellent!
Even Playa del Ingles - otherwise a good imitation of Great Yarmouth - has a great promenade. It was here that we also came across an Argentine steak house, which had no menu - just a tray of raw meat from which to select at evaded prices!
