Three More Things I’ve Learnt about Gran Canaria

Having visited Gran Canaria for over twenty-five years, you might be surprised that there is still more for us to learn about this stunning island.

I first wrote about Gran Canaria in 2022. It is part of a Spanish archipelago located off the northwest coast of Africa. In my post titled “Why visit Gran Canaria?” I outlined six reasons for staying and returning to this beautiful island: its favourable climate, easy accessibility, delicious cuisine, rich culture, diverse landscapes, and the wide variety of available activities.

Why visit Gran Canaria?

We typically visit Gran Canaria in the winter, always in the south of the island, but our choice of accommodation varies. Sometimes, we opt for self-catering, at other times we choose hotels. Our most recent trip was particularly magical because we were joined by our eldest son and his wife, as well as our youngest son and his girlfriend.

This year, we stayed in the Lopesan Baobab Hotel, which has an African theme. Below is a selection of photos that capture the essence of our trip: blue skies, palm trees and plenty of relaxation! I feel privileged to have had such a wonderful week with the people I love the most.
