Biking in Gran Canaria

With my parents I went the last week to Gran Canaria; an island know from the most people as one where lying on the beach and partying is the main activity...but we get to know this island from an other point of view. In the small but sweet Finca "Villa del Monte" in St. Brigida we found a perfect home and got a perfect service from Petra, the owner. Our daily program consisted of 4 parts: 1) Bike tour with the canarian mountain biking champion. He showed us very nice pathes and we did a lot of "crazy" downhill. 2) Siesta 3) Beach 4) Eating a tasty dinner :-)
One day we also went to the south, to see the dunes and another day we went to the north to enjoy the completely diffrent landscape there.
A huge thanks to my parents for this amazing week!

The name Gran Canaria comes from the spanish word "can"= dog
