Vacation in Gran Canaria

 

 

Wonderfully contrasting landscapes

 

With subtropical landscapes and impressive vegetation, desert areas, vertiginous cliffs and golden beaches, the Canary Islands have everything to offer you. Lanzarote, the land of lava and fire, Fuerteventura, with multitudes of magnificent beaches, Tenerife, dominated by its fascinating volcano and Grand Canaria, with its majestic sand dune reminischent of the Sahara… they are all quite different. But each one of them offers a dazzling sun and a mild climate which guarantees a successful seaside holiday for all ages.

Gran Canaria

 

 

A human-side continent to discover

 

Often referred to as a mini-continent, Gran Canaria owes its nickname to the great diversity of landscapes, its climate which stays mild throughout the year, but also to the presence of extraordinary flora and fauna. It is also characterised by a unique sea of sand dunes extending over almost 400 hectares along the south coast which is also home to several popular seaside towns such as Playa del Inglés and Playa de Maspalomas, bosting beautiful sandy beaches, golf courses, countless shops, great recreational opportunities and, of course, excellent hotel services.
