Local Information

Gran Canaria is known affectionately as a 'miniature continent' due to an excellent climate and a landscape of contrasting, beautiful scenery. There are deep, picturesque ravines and large undulating sand dunes that imitate a distinctly African flavour. High mountain peaks create spectacular views and the northern part of the island is covered in pines, sugar-cane, banana and vine plantations.

The southern part of the island harbours sandy beaches, deep-blue waters and the main lively, bustling resorts of Playa del Ingles and Puerto Rico. Nightlife is vibrant and sophisticated with a variety of restaurants, bars and discos to suit the tastes and requirements of even the most discerning traveller. Gran Canaria's natural beauty, privileged climate and popular beach resorts are complemented with a wide range of facilities that make up a holiday isle that is certain to never disappoint its continuous stream of visitors.
