Graphene is a material that comes from graphite and has an atomic structure composed of carbon and hydrogen, arranged in a honeycomb structure and has amazing features, such as: high thermal and electrical conductivity, flexibility, hardness, resistance, lightness, etc. And if it were not enough, Graphene is also believed to have the ability to repair itself, is it not amazing?
Can you imagine screens a few millimeters thick? Or batteries that last much longer? Super processors barely heated? Graphene has many applications in all fields of modern science. One example is in biotechnology, through which scientists could make progress in the fight against terminal illnesses or even implants to replace damaged tissues at a cellular level.
Advances in communications would also be unimaginable. The concept of computers, mobile devices, TVs, etc. would be reduced to a single interface capable of communicating all kinds of signals at unthinkable speeds.
Energy consumption that comes from fossil fuel worldwide would change drastically due to that graphene is able to absorb sunlight and transform it into electrical energy, allowing a family to be energy self-sufficient in solar periods. The use of Graphene contributes to fight against climate change.
To conclude, Graphene seems to have no limits. Every day this material is investigated, discovering new and amazing qualities that surely in the near future will make humanity take a historical leap in its evolution.

A day in the North of Gran Canaria
Written by Juana Delia Sosa
Would you like to spend a day in the best places in Gran Canaria? Come to the North of Gran Canaria and enjoy visiting wonderful places, eating traditional products or taking a bath in its natural pools and beaches.
The northen route leads us from Arucas to reach Agaete, driving across Santa María de Guía and Gáldar.
The first stop in the journey is Arucas. The old city , full of history, where we’d walk through the streets of stones surrounded by colorful houses with attractive balconies until arriving at the gothic church which gives the city a magnificent image.
In the itinerary from Arucas to Guía we’ll stop in a small cove called ‘ El Puertillo’. There we’ll take the first bath or simply we’ll have a ‘tapa’ while we relish) the breathtaking views from the sea.
Just 10 minutes from El Puertillo we’ll arrive at Santa María de Guía. Every Sunday the city sets a traditional market where the visitor or tourist can buy and taste the local products like the cheese called ‘ queso de flor’.
Once we leave Santa María de Guía , we’ll visit Gáldar where the first compulsory place is the Painted Cave. Inside the archeological museum, we’ll go back to the prehispanic period and will know how the native population lived.
At the end of the journey we find Agaete. There we’ll go across the village to visit the Valley of Agaete. In the Valley, we’ll be able to contemplate the beauty of its rural landscape and will taste Agaete coffee.
Leaving the Valley back, we’ll go back to the village center to enter in the ‘ Huerto de las Flores’. This particulary garden with a lot of varieties of exotic plants was the meeting point of canarian poets like Tomás Morales and Alonso Quesada.
Finally to finish the journey we’ll go to ‘ Las Nieves’ port where we’ll taste the fresh fish and will take a bath with the breathtaking views of the cliff of Tamadaba.
