For many years Gran Canaria was the most underrated of the Canary Islands among countryside enthusiasts, but with the restoration of the old trails (the so-called Kings Highways''), the island has been truly discovered by walkers. There''s more than a month''s walking in this guide to show you why!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe island is often referred to as a ''continent in miniature''.
