GRAN CANARIA REVIEW:

With its temperate climate, beautiful landscapes and welcoming atmosphere, Gran Canaria is a fantastic place for your well deserved holiday. Well known for its stunning beaches and long swathes of golden sand, Gran Canaria is fantastic for a relaxing break.

All of the usual entertainment options are available here, including varied cuisine, friendly bars and trendy boutiques, but that’s not all Gran Canaria has to offer for the intrepid holidaymaker. Whether you’re looking for lazy days spent on the beach or fun filled days spent moving from activity to activity Gran Canaria has something to offer for all.

Though possessing the usual array of restaurants, bars and shops, Gran Canaria is perhaps best loved for its great weather and beautiful beaches, with some being quiet and secluded whilst others are filled with water sports which are sure to keep visitors of all ages entertained. If it’s possible the beach may lose its allure and you could be looking for something else to entertain you, introducing the Aqualand Aquasur which boasts chutes, slides and wave machines which will keep everyone smiling.

For something a little different (and for those who aren’t squeamish) you might want to try out Reptilandia which offers the chance to get up close to a number of snakes and lizards. There are even tortoises for those who don’t want to get too close to the snakes! If being out in the sunshine is where you want to be you might want to enjoy some horseback riding or treat yourself to a round of golf in the glorious sunshine.
