Gran Canaria is a diverse island often described as a “miniature continent” thanks to its mix of golden beaches, dramatic mountains, lush forests, and charming villages. With year-round sunshine, it’s a favourite for both relaxation and adventure. The south coast is home to lively resorts like Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, and Puerto Rico, where you’ll find wide sandy beaches, promenades, and plenty of nightlife.
Inland, the scenery changes dramatically, with volcanic peaks, deep ravines, and traditional whitewashed villages such as Tejeda and Teror offering a taste of authentic Canarian life. The capital, Las Palmas, combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere with historic charm, featuring the old quarter of Vegueta, excellent shopping, and a beautiful city beach, Las Canteras.
Whether you’re after beach days, hiking trails, or cultural experiences, Gran Canaria’s variety makes it a destination that caters to every type of traveller.
