For a thrilling mix of drama and beauty, it's hard to beat a holiday to Gran Canaria and its good value resorts welcoming holidaymakers any time of year. In recent years, most of the main resorts have developed smaller, chic satellite developments, offering modern, attractive accommodation complexes, a sprinkling of facilities and easy access to the larger commercial centres of its neighbours. If you're after the best of both worlds, resorts such as Salobre, Playa Taurito, Meloneras and Playa Amadores will fulfill your Gran Canaria holiday wish list.
Gran Canaria is cosmopolitan, lively and spirited, and, after forty years, more than accustomed to giving holidaymakers a great time, but scratch a little beneath the surface and you'll find a fiercely proud land of fiestas and faith, hospitality and history – where tradition and tourism coexist more or less happily together.
By night, the entertainment complexes of Playa del Ingles offer uncomplicated nights of fun which might start with a delicious meal, followed by a stroll along the promenade and a drink with friends at one of the resort's legendary nightspots. On your holiday to Gran Canaria you can be sure that you will be given the warmest welcome, as part of the joyful and splendid Gran Canaria spirit.
A blend of chic holiday resort and traditional fishing village, Playa de Mogan is a picturesque destination often described as “Little Venice”. With calm waters and sandy shores, it is popular with families.
A typical Canarian fishing village, Arguineguin is more a home for locals than a tourist resort. Found to the southwest of Las Palmas, it has a couple of small beaches.
Despite its air of good living, its art galleries, boutiques and stylish apartment blocks, it's still possible to enjoy cheap holidays to Maspalomas - the Canaries' cooler coastal resort.
A lovely stretch of beach, La Playa de Tauro is found on the south west coast of Gran Canaria in the picturesque resort of Puerto de Mogan.
