It looks just like Arizona.
There's a lot more vegetation inland.
Looking back the way we'd come.
One of the cute towns.
The Maspalomas sand dunes.
Gran Canaria is famous for its beaches but the middle of the island is interesting too. The interior is very arid and mountainous and reminds me a lot of the American West. We did a day trip into the mountains and drove some very windy narrow roads. The views were great and there are some surprising large towns to visit. Unfortunately the road we wanted to take was closed for resealing so we didn't get to go to the highest point on the island.
