Good job petrol is cheap here (about half the price of UK) cos the roads are so winding it takes about 10 miles to travel one!!
It's due to the topography - it's all mountainous and full of huge ravines, or barrancos in Spanish, which have to be negotiated. Hmmm, all very time consuming (and hair-raising!)

Advice on hiring a car in Gran Canary??? Don't bother. The roads are very very busy (I read somewhere that there is one car for every two souls on the island) and the scenery is over-rated. But then, once you've been to the Azores..........
