Gran Canaria sits 130 miles off the northwest coast of Africa and is the third largest of the Canary Islands. Las Palmas, in the north-east of the island, is its capital and is the most dynamic capital city in the Canaries.
Gran Canaria, is one of the last remaining European paradise isles with incredibly beautiful coastlines and spectacular beaches. A mini continent in its own right, it offers lush forests, exotic fauna and flora, Sahara-like dunes, mountains, volcanic craters and even the odd flurry of snow on the highest peaks.
An island of contrasts with a great mix of people and local traditions, it is crammed with culture and sandy beaches.
The south is the most popular part of the island where you will find Puerto de Mogán (a picturesque village also known as Little Venice), Puerto Rico, Maspalomas, Meloneras, San Agustín and the famous Playa del Inglés. Enjoying a sunny climate, Gran Canaria is a great year-round destination.
