The most gorgeous beaches

If any Canary Island is known for its countless beaches, it is Gran Canaria. In the north of the island you’ll find stunning black volcanic beaches, while the south is covered with golden sand and the west with pristine white sand. Lay your towel down on the lovely city beach of Las Canteras, in the capital of Las Palmas, and stroll along the lively promenade. Or enjoy a magnificent sunset at Playa de Amadores. Looking for a quiet spot? Then cosy Sardina del Norte is the right place for you.

Exploring Gran Canaria

Besides its beautiful beaches, Gran Canaria has a lot more in store for you. In the mood for some culture and architecture? Then head for the atmospheric capital of Las Palmas. The city is home to beautiful churches, cathedrals and interesting museums, such as the house of the famous explorer Christopher Columbus. Would you prefer to enjoy a spectacular view? Put on your hiking shoes and climb the rock Roque Nublo. The tough climb is more than worth it! Finally, after a day in the sun, enjoy delicious fish dishes in one of the charming local restaurants.

‘Need a break from it all? From white sandy beaches to forests and from desert to volcanic craters, Gran Canaria is one of the most versatile of the Canary Islands.’

Take a day trip to Tenerife

Although the 7 Canary Islands are very close to each other, they are all very different. Why not take a trip to the neighbouring island of Tenerife? The ferry from Gran Canaria takes 1.5 hours to reach the island, where you can explore the extensive coastline with its impressive lava beaches, historical monuments and buildings. Make sure to visit the lively capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the Teide National Park and the fishing village of San Andrés. You will be amazed!
