A 3 day journey across Gran Canaria, in September 2024 🇮🇨

This was a completely new destination for me, and the scenery surpassed expectations. The GR-131 is a long distance trail across all of the Canary Islands. I followed the Gran Canaria section, as outlined in the Cicerone trail guide, from Maspalomas, in the South of the island, to Puerto de las Nieves in the North. Since the Cicerone guide was published, the GR-131 route has been formalised on Gran Canaria, and now starts in the East of the island, before linking up with my route in the island's interior mountains.

Day 1: Maspalomas to Ayagaures, 14.3 miles / 23.0 km, 2782 feet / 848m of ascent.
Day 2: Ayagaures to Llanos de la Pez, 13.6 miles / 21.9 km, 7103 feet / 2165m of ascent.
Side trip to the summit of Pico de las Nieves, 3.0 miles / 4.8 km, 1306 feet / 398m of ascent.
Day 3: Llanos de la Pez to Puerto de las Nieves, 20.2 miles / 32.5 km, 2749 feet / 838m of ascent.

🥾 Total distance: 51.1 miles / 82.2 kilometres.
📈 Total ascent (and descent): 13940 feet / 4249 metres.
🦎 Total giant lizards spotted: 0
