Gran Canaria
Part of Spain’s Canary Islands, Gran Canaria is known as a “continent in miniature” thanks to its incredibly diverse landscapes – from golden beaches and rolling sand dunes to dramatic mountains and lush pine forests. With year-round sunshine, charming seaside towns, and a laid-back island atmosphere, it’s the perfect destination for both relaxation and adventure. The south of the island is home to popular resorts like Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés, where you’ll find lively promenades, beachfront dining, and family-friendly entertainment. Meanwhile, the north and interior offer traditional villages, hiking trails, and cultural sights, including the historic quarter of Vegueta in Las Palmas. Whether you're sunbathing by the sea, exploring volcanic landscapes, or sampling Canarian cuisine, Gran Canaria promises something for every kind of traveller.
