Holidays to Gran Canaria

The third largest of the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria, is a popular holiday destination. This Spanish archipelago lying off the coast of North-West Africa enjoys a benign climate, pleasantly mild in winter and never too hot in the summer. Reached within four hours of sun-starved Britons, it is the perfect spot for those seeking respite from the dreary days of winter without necessitating a long haul flight. Gran Canaria is a stunning island with a varied landscape of dark volcanic hills meeting fertile plantations which in turn give way to a coastline of towering cliffs, rocky coves and wonderful sandy beaches. There are resorts to suit all ages. If you are looking for a family friendly resort, consider Meloneras, purpose-built and offering great amenities. It is very close to Holiday World, an exciting theme park much loved by children of all ages. Eighteen to thirties looking for lively evenings will find a party atmosphere in Playa del Ingles or Puerto Rico that lasts until the early hours of the morning. There are many delightful hideaways for those looking for peace and relaxation, ideal for couples of every age.
