Why holiday in Gran Canaria?
The Capital Las Palmas is a cosmopolitan city centre with a rich historic quarter and contrasting nightlife, popular with the 18-30 crowd. For a more authentic Gran Canarian experience, head to the picturesque towns and villages of Agaete, Cruz de Tejeda, San Mateo, and Vecindario. The street markets are a must visit and are particularly lively at night.
Beach Holidays in Gran Canaria
The island is home to some well-known beach resorts, including the largest and most popular - Maspalomas. Despite the beach’s popularity, it doesn’t feel crowded due to its considerable size. Another popular beach is Playa del Ingles with massive sand dunes and calm waters perfect for paddling. The quieter beaches of Amadores or Taurito are considered more family friendly.
Many of the beaches in Gran Canaria are lined with shops and cafes where you can buy supplies for your day of sun and sea. If you prefer to get active rather than soak up the rays then surfing and water sports are offered at many beach resorts across the island.
Food and Drink
In terms of nightlife, Las Palmas is known for late night clubs like Tres x Uno but the southern resorts also offer a great variety with hundreds of bars, clubs, and pubs. If you fancy trying a local drink you can order a glass of Tinto del Monte, a local red wine.
Activities
As well as the range of watersports available at the beach resorts, such as jet skiing and the classic banana boats, there are also regular trips out to sea including sport fishing trips, glass-bottom ferries, and even underwater subs.
If you fancy a few rounds in a stunning landscape, there are plenty of golf courses along the north and south coast.
