SPAIN TRAVEL. GRAN CANARIA. TRIANA Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Остров Гран Канария. Лас Пальмас

Gran Canaria is certainly one of the last remaining European paradise isles located in the Atlantic Ocean, 130 miles from the African coast. It&the third largest of the Canary Islands and has Fuerteventura and Tenerife as its neighbours. Las Palmas, located in the northeast part of the island, is its capital. Gran Canaria is an island of contrasts. As the most dynamic capital city in the Canaries, it has a great mix of people and keeps local traditions alive, but always catering for the holidaymaker. Crammed with culture, incredibly beautiful coastlines and spectacular beaches with a sunny climate, Gran Canaria is a great destination all year round. So whenever you want to escape for a break, the delights of Canary Islands are waiting for you! And it&all just a mouse-click away... virtually! From the cooler north to the sunnier south, this perfect holiday island has everything the most discerning traveller could wish for: the great diversity of climate, lush forests, exotic flora and fauna, volcanic craters, the odd flurry of snow on the highest peaks – all this has led to this island being dubbed "The Miniature Continent". Where else can you find acres of sand dunes against a backdrop of verdant mountains within easy reach of some of the best hotels, apartments, resorts, clubs, bars and cafés in Europe?
