Gran Canaria has some beautiful areas. Two weeks ago Elijah and I went out with a group for a 4 hour hike and last week Malachi decided to join Eli and I on a 3 hour hike with some guys from the ship. Both hikes were organized by my friend, the amazing Robert Brugler.
The first hike was largely down hill from the ridge line down the valley to a town called San Mateo. I picked a prickly pear along the way as I'd never tried one before. For those who have never done so, I advise against it. I was picking tiny cactus slivers out of my fingers for some time.
The second hike was to a natural rock monument called Roque Nublo. Not as challenging as the first hike, this one was definitely more beautiful and we had a great time with the guys.
