Family Holidays Overview

Family Walking in the Highlands


Family Walking in the Highlands

<p>Escape to the winter sunshine of Gran Canaria, and head for the dramatic landscapes of the island&rsquo;s undiscovered interior, with meadows, pine woods, almond orchards, exotic vegetation, towers of volcanic rock and deep valleys. Your family will be enchanted by staying in a cave house, and there are plenty of walks to explore caves, walk into a volcano (extinct!), picnic under the almond trees or admire the amazing views all the way to Tenerife. Self-guided walks from &frac12; hour to full day ensure there is something for everyone, and an Upland Explorer activity pack is provided to keep all children interested and informed. You are completely free to do whatever you choose each day, depending on how your family feel. Take your delicious packed-lunch (provided daily for you) to the top of a mountain, or jump into your hire-car and head for the ice-cream shop: it is up to you!</p>
