El Confital Beach and Overlook

El Confital is a wild rocky natural reserve at the top of Gran Canaria. There are no houses but people live in the caves, just like the Croods did, on the cliffs. There is great surfing and good hiking. We explored the tide pools, climbed on ruins and hiked to the lookout where we could see a beautiful view of Las Palmas.

Hiking and Climbing Barranco San Miguel

This is a canyon hike and it’s fun how deep down we get in nature right in the city. My friends Lisette and Elena walked up the trail and joined us at the top and we did the downhill together. We saw tiny caves, beautiful plants, giant cliffs on both sides, horses, bike riders, dogs and a really cool climbing area. It took us about two hours with a lot of stops.

Los Tilos de Moya

We saw dozens of families with babies, little kids and even big kids. The trail is deep green because of all the rain in the last month.
