"The Berlitz Gran Canaria Pocket Guide" covers all the main sights, area by area, in an easily navigable format. Tourist attractions described include Las Palmas' historic centre, bustling Triana district and Playa de las Canteras, the lush vegetation of the Barranco de Guayadeque and Jardin Canario and the pristine Maspalomas sand dunes. A guide is given to the sun-soaked resorts of the south, soaring mountains of the west, pretty, historic towns of the north and beautiful scenery of the east. The book also contains background historical information, advice on shopping and entertainment and the low-down on eating out. There is an A-Z of practical information, listings of recommended hotels and restaurants and useful expressions in Spanish. You can read special features on topics ranging from cave dwellers to the festival of Bringing Down the Branches. Maps show Las Palmas, Gran Canaria and a detail of the north of the island, and there are dozens of colour photographs throughout.
