Driving in Gran Canaria: Mountain Roads and Parking
Renting and driving around Gran Canaria, from Las Palmas and Maspalomas to inland mountain villages.
Road rules and access conditions may change. Check official local sources, road conditions and your rental terms before travel.
Driving from Gran Canaria Airport
Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) is served by multiple rental providers, but collection details and desks vary. Confirm the terminal, vehicle fuel policy and return procedure with your specific supplier.
Mountain routes towards Tejeda
The roads into Gran Canaria's mountain villages can be steep, narrow and full of bends. Do not use a mainland motorway time estimate for a mountain journey, and allow time for passing places and viewpoints.
Las Palmas and resort parking
Parking near popular beaches and town centres can be limited. Read signs, local time restrictions and hotel access information before leaving the vehicle.
Traffic rules
Spanish road rules apply, but local municipal controls may differ. Check the Spanish DGT and current island traffic notices before driving.
