The ultimate guide for walks, hiking and mountain trekking on the Canary Island of Gran Canaria, Spain
Gran Canaria is a paradise for mountain walking in the Canaries, with inhabited cave villages, lake side walks, spectacular mountain scenery and wonderful flora & fauna especially in the Spring.  There are a great variety of hikes on outstanding trails, many of these are off-the-beaten-track and the climate is excellent for trekking.

"I'm a self confessed cynic, I think quietly I was daring Roger to impress me - boy did he ever!
I have experience of the sombre majesty of Glencoe, the sheer magnitude of the Nevis range, the Mamores, Skye and the Cuillins, the stark sheer Welsh mountains and having walked the Wild Wall in China and seen the single-mindedness of the builders to follow the highest ridge no matter how difficult the terrain.
I've wandered about the Sierra Nevada, and the Rockies, and the Samaria Gorge in Crete.
There were moments when I was walking with Roger I felt that I should have taken more pictures to reinforce my memories, the sights that I was privileged to have been shown by Roger equalled anything that I'd ever seen"

I have been hiking with Roger for over a year now and enjoyed every single walk.  He knows Gran Canaria really well and goes out of his way to design the most fascinating hikes.  I especially appreciate the variety of his walks in terms of length and degree of difficulty.  He has something to offer for everybody
