To my mind, the less developed north coast of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands is much more interesting than the touristic south, so my wife Liz and I spent most of our holiday week exploring this side of the island.
One of our favourite places on the north coast must be Puerto de Las Nieves, with various images from the town shown here.

One of my pleasures while on holiday in foreign climes is to drive the lesser travelled roads and see out of the way places.
