You Won't Find in Gran Canaria

Some things you won't find in Gran Canaria include:

• Snakes - and the lizards you see in the dunes are harmless (and rare, so please treat them with respect)
• Poisonous insects (though mosquitos can be annoying, and there are rabbit ticks in the dunes)
• Foxes - so no foxhunting
• Rabies or malaria
• Bullfighting - it's never been a part of the culture here
• Flamenco - except in a hotel cabaret. The Canary Islands have a rich tradition of folk music that's all their own.
