Welcome to Gran Canaria

Often dubbed a “continent in miniature,” Gran Canaria is a beguiling mix of sun-soaked beaches, lush forests, volcanic peaks and lively towns. This Canary Island gem, set adrift in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa, offers more than just a beach holiday—it’s a vibrant cultural crossroads with a rich history, dramatic landscapes and a relaxed island rhythm.

Don’t miss

• Roaming the cobbled streets and colonial architecture of Vegueta, Las Palmas’ old town
• Catching a fiery sunset over the Maspalomas Dunes
• Hiking the rugged trails around Roque Nublo, a striking volcanic rock formation
• Snorkelling in the clear waters off Playa de Amadores

Culinary culture

The island’s food scene is a celebration of its Spanish roots and African influences, with a bounty of fresh, local ingredients. Dive into papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) with mojo sauce, succulent grilled fish, and rich gofio-based dishes. Don’t leave without trying bienmesabe, a sweet almond dessert, and sipping on a glass of local rum or fruity malvasía wine.

Dive deeper

Beyond the coast, Gran Canaria reveals its soul in small mountain villages like Tejeda and Artenara, where time slows and traditions endure. Discover aboriginal cave dwellings, explore cave churches in Guayadeque, or witness centuries-old folk music and dance at a romería (pilgrimage festival).

Good to know

Gran Canaria uses the euro and enjoys a subtropical climate—expect warm weather year-round. Renting a car is ideal for exploring the island’s dramatic interior, while buses connect major towns and resorts. English is widely understood, but learning a few Spanish phrases adds a warm touch to your travels.
