Our February Map of the Month is the Gran Canaria Tour and Trail Super-Durable Map.
One of the most popular destinations with our customers during the end of winter is the Spanish island of Gran Canaria. It is the third-largest and second-most-populous island of the Canary Islands, an archipelago off the Atlantic coast of Northwest Africa. This island is called a “miniature continent” due to the different climates and variety of landscapes found. It has so much to offer with long beaches and dunes of white sand, contrasting with green ravines and picturesque villages.
Gran Canaria Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map (50k scale) is a large 960mm by 700mm double sided map sheet which folds to its 235mm by 120mm pocket size. A special concertina map fold makes the map easy to unfold and refold in use.
The ‘Super-Durable’ means it is water-proof and tear-proof, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth if your map gets dirty.
Gran Canaria North is on one side with South on the reverse side, while a generous common overlap minimises your map turning.
The map is the result of Discovery Walking Guides Ltd (DWG) partnering with Gran Canaria resident walking expert ‘Rambling Roger’, and map researchers Isabelle and Dane, surveying Gran Canaria in detail to produce this map.
20 metre and 100 metre contours combined with altitude shading bring the impressive landscapes of the island to life. All of the legendary Tour & Trail attention to detail is included so that you will find those petrol stations, mirador viewpoints with parking, refreshment stops with parking and accurate road numbering that are so essential when adventuring by hire car.
Off-tarmac, Gran Canaria Tour & Trail Map is in a league of its own thanks to all the hiking trails and dirt tracks surveyed by Roger, Isabelle and Dane. A comprehensive range of the best walking trails are highlighted on the map, meaning that whatever walking guide book you wish to use, this map will ‘work’ alongside it.
While Gran Canaria Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map will give years of adventurous use, all the materials used in its production are fully recyclable.
