La isla de Gran Canaria es una de las islas más populares e interesantes del archipiélago canario, por su diversidad. Sus contrastes paisajísticos y climáticos la han hecho merecedora del título de “continente en miniatura”.
Coexisten paisajes rocosos y escarpados, carentes de vegetación, con palmerales y poblados bosques de pino canario, o valles en los que se mezclan diferentes tonos de verde con colores vivos de buganvillas y orquídeas.
Se alternan playas largas y doradas con pequeñas calas de arena negra y fina, o playas de piedras. Junto a pequeños pueblos pesqueros o de montaña, se levantan ciudades de corte colonial con calles evocadoras que muestran variados estilos arquitectónicos. Y si queremos volver por un momento a nuestros orígenes, no podemos dejar de visitar las cuevas y yacimientos en los que se han rescatado restos arqueológicos aborígenes.
Cuando nos desplazamos de norte a sur de la isla, nos sorprenden las innumerables recetas y formas de hacer un mismo plato. Fenómeno que se explica por la variedad del clima y orografía que encontramos a cada paso y que, indudablemente, tienen reflejo en la gastronomía del lugar. El clima y los diferentes productos autóctonos condicionan las costumbres alimenticias de los habitantes de cada isla y de cada municipio, por lo que la riqueza gastronómica es enorme.
