Gran Canaria Itself
Gran Canaria is the third largest of the Canary Islands, situated in the Atlantic Ocean, 210 km from the North West coast of Africa. Being owned by Spain, the main language spoken is Spanish, but most residents speak a little English, especially in the tourist areas.
The beautiful island of Gran Canaria attracts holiday makers from all over the world, and it caters for most peoples needs. Many people enjoy an activity holiday in Gran Canaria, where they can windsurf, swim, cycle, fish, ride, play golf and even fly aeroplanes. This island really is an adrenaline junkies paradise.
For those who are looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, Gran Canaria offers many get-away-from-it-all hideaways. For a surprisingly small island, Gran Canaria can offer quiet beaches, peaceful inland reservoirs, remote walks and undisturbed fishing areas.
Nightlife in the Gran Canaria can be a little hectic at times, especially if you have booked your stay during the peak season. There is a diverse choice of clubs, pubs, disco’s and restaurants, many of which offer free entertainment.
The capital city of Las Palmas, which lies on the North coast of the island, is split into four distinct zones of interest: Vegueta, the historical centre, Triana, the commercial district, Cuidad Jardin, a leafy green suburb created by 19th Century merchants and the Playa de las Canteras, the beautiful beach area.
