We passed through here on a brilliant clear sunny day. The drive from Maspalomas to Roque Nublo is spectacular and not to be undertaken without a camera! Some of the roads can be a tad narrow, but full size coaches go there, so don't worry. It seems to be popular with hikers and there is a car park for several... More

If your in Gran Canaria, you must visit this Rock!...Park your car in the car park. Be prepared for about an hours walk to reach the summit..it's a little difficult in places so make sure you have good footwear, but it's a nice walk. Once you get to the Top the views are to Die for, and you will realise... More

This really is a must see if you are visiting Gran Canaria. It does take quite a bit of driving to get there, but it's worth it. We came from Puerto de Mogan and it took us 1.5hrs driving through some very steep and very narow roads. There was virtually no traffic and the views on the way up to... More

This is visible from several points on the island. There is some lovely walking around Roque Nublo and the surrounding villages

You cannot visit Gran Canaria and not hire a car to the centre of the Island for the full experience of the real canaries! Did not love all the winding roads with their blind bends and twists that turn your stomach - but it was fun! The scenery on the drive up is amazing and the landscape is beautiful, the... More

The drive is twisty and winding, but well worth it. We stayed overnight at Paradore Nacional Hotel for around Euros 85/night. The views from the hotel room balcony of Roque Noblo are amazing-I love views and this was a Million Dollar View. Especially in the evening when you can watch the sun go down and in the morning when there... More

If you were on Gran Canaria and have not taken a day trip to the hills, you can't really say you have visited the island :). It takes a few hours to drive from the coast, so best to start the trip early. The rock formations are nice and there are a few small villages where you can eat, have... More

This is an amazing landscape being the second highest point on the island of Gran Canaria. As a walking group we undertook the "long walk" up to the peak most of which was completed in glorious sunshine. On the top it was cold and misty as we were partly in or above the cloud. Nevertheless an amazing view point that... More

This review is for Pico de las Nieves, the highest peak of Gran Canaria Island (it could also refer to the Roque Nublo, but Pico is better in my view). Unfortunately, it is not listed on tripadviser. What a spectacular place. Red clay, white clouds, blue sky and a touch of greenery from the majestic Canary's pine trees creat an... More

If in Gran Canaria do not miss this one! Before you go check if it's cloudy in the hills (weather may differ from the coast). It is situated in the very center of the island - an hour ride from the resorts (we took the road from Maspalomas). Narrow, windy and steep, but great quality road leads you through absolutely...
