What to see in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is one of the most visited Canary Islands. Its European soul, combined with a mild climate year-round and diverse landscapes influenced by its proximity to the African continent and the ocean breeze, make it one of the top destinations for Europeans and travelers worldwide. Chosen by adults, families, and windsurfing enthusiasts alike, Gran Canaria offers plenty to explore. Maspalomas is by far the most famous tourist destination on the island and one of the most visited in Europe. In 2005, it was declared a cultural site of interest in the Canary Islands. Located in the south of the island, it is well connected to the northern capital, Las Palmas. In particular, Playa del Inglés is the area with the largest number of accommodations, though there are also many cultural sites of interest. While you're there, pay special attention to the beach and the dunes behind it, which make up the Maspalomas Natural Park. Strong winds often cause small sandstorms that can be bothersome, so it’s best to bring sunglasses to protect your eyes and always watch out for the sand’s temperature, it’s like having a piece of the Sahara right on Gran Canaria. A visit to Las Palmas is a must. Alongside Santa Cruz de Tenerife, it is the capital of the entire Canary Islands archipelago. The port of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is one of the most important in Europe, both for tourism and commerce. As the capital, Las Palmas is the island’s most populated city, home to museums, cinemas, theaters, and two of the most popular beaches: Playa de Las Canteras and Playa de las Alcaravaneras. The Vegueta district is another must-visit in Gran Canaria. Vegueta is the historic center of Las Palmas and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990. Here you can admire the Casa Regental, residence of the president of the Court of Assizes of Gran Canaria; the Casa Consistoriales, Las Palmas' town hall; Casa Colón, which is believed to have been Christopher Columbus’ residence during a stopover on the island; and the Cathedral of Santa Ana, which blends Gothic, Renaissance, and Neoclassical styles. Inside the church, elevated to the status of minor basilica, you’ll find several sculptures by José Luján Pérez, the island’s most iconic artist. If you're in Vegueta, don’t miss the Canarian Museum, home to the most extensive collection documenting the rich civilization of the Guanches, the archipelago’s aboriginal people. If you prefer a small town with an unmistakable Mediterranean feel, even though it’s located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, we recommend Puerto de Mogán, a popular starting point for boat excursions, including this beautiful sailing tour we’ve suggested, which allows you to enjoy the wonders of Gran Canaria from the sea. The colorful hillside houses, narrow streets, and small bridges that cross the fishing village are inspired by classic Mediterranean architecture, reminiscent of Spanish, Greek, and Italian towns.

The most beautiful beaches of Gran Canaria

The most famous beaches of Gran Canaria are located in the southern part of the island. Playa del Inglés, which stretches for nearly three kilometers between Maspalomas and San Agustín, is one of the most frequented beaches, thanks in part to the abundance of bars and accommodation facilities in the area. However, in the southwest, you’ll find a series of less crowded, incredibly charming, and wild beaches, perfect for those seeking a unique, off-the-beaten-path, nature-filled excursion. We’ll set sail from Puerto de Mogán toward Playa de Tasarte, Playa del Ámbar, and Playa de Veneguera: beaches that are all very different from one another, ranging from dark sand to white stones, offering you an unforgettable and surprising experience.

How to get around in Gran Canaria

Getting around Gran Canaria is quite easy. The inland areas are connected by a network of tourist buses that cover nearly the entire island. Alternatively, renting a car is a great option for those who prefer to explore Gran Canaria with complete freedom. Gran Canaria is best experienced through its stunning landscapes: relaxing beaches and views of wild coves. A boat tour in Gran Canaria is undoubtedly one of the best ways to fully enjoy the Canary Island, even during high season, and in total peace. The sailing excursion departing from Puerto de Mogán is the top choice for nature lovers. If you wish, you can take part in the sailing with the crew, or simply relax and admire the island’s beautiful beaches. The tour includes stops for swimming and snorkeling, and there’s also a food and drink break on board, with a view that’s nothing short of spectacular.

How to reach Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is the second most populated island in the Canary Islands after Tenerife and has an international airport that connects it to both international and national destinations, as well as to the other Canary Islands.

Where is Gran Canaria located?

Gran Canaria is a round-shaped island, the third largest in the Canary Islands archipelago, and is located west of Africa. It is a Spanish island, and therefore part of Europe, with a mild climate all year round, arguably one of the best on the planet. Temperatures in December and January never drop below 15°C (59°F), it rarely rains, and summers are never too hot, with around 50 weeks of sunshine a year. Despite the mild weather, if you plan on hiking or visiting high-altitude areas for mountain excursions, remember to dress appropriately with a warm fleece and windbreaker, as those areas experience the coldest temperatures and the strongest winds.

Typical dishes of Gran Canaria

The food in Gran Canaria has an exotic flair. One of the most traditional dishes is gofio, a highly nutritious and easy-to-store food. Gofio is a flour made from ground toasted cereals, and it's a staple in the local diet. In addition to gofio, you won’t want to miss the wide variety of tropical fruits that grow on the island, bananas, guava, prickly pears, avocados, mangoes, and papayas. Another must-try dish is papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), sweet potatoes boiled in salty water and served with a spicy sauce. It’s a typical dish found throughout the Canary Islands.
