The Transgrancanaria Promo is the best way to start trail running in style. It passes through incredibly beautiful landscapes and, above all, it runs between the two highest villages in Gran Canaria, known as the “municipios cumbreros”. Participants will discover the dense pine forest of Pinos de Gáldar along a path that borders the Caldera de Tejeda, which the philosopher Miguel de Unamuno described as the “petrified tempest.”
