Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria, the third-largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, is often described as a “continent in miniature” – and for good reason. From sun-soaked beaches and rolling sand dunes to lush pine forests and rugged mountain peaks, the island boasts an extraordinary variety of landscapes within a relatively compact space. Along the southern coast, you’ll find vibrant resort towns like Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés, perfect for beach lovers, nightlife seekers, and family fun. Head inland and you'll discover charming villages, dramatic volcanic terrain, and panoramic viewpoints that offer breathtaking vistas across the island. Gran Canaria is also rich in culture and tradition, with colourful fiestas, Canarian cuisine, and historic quarters like Vegueta in the capital Las Palmas. Whether you’re after total relaxation, outdoor adventure, or a bit of both, Gran Canaria delivers a perfectly balanced holiday experience – warm, welcoming, and full of unforgettable moments.
