Short Break in Gran Canaria


This beautiful island off the coast of Africa has a wonderful climate all year round. With gorgeous hot summers mixed with milder winters (sometimes even a bit of snow on the mountains!), it is a great place to visit. There are endless beaches of golden white sand, greenery and many little villages.


A third of the island is protected under the Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. Many tourists stay in the south of the island, which is sunnier and warmer than the north. There are many wonderful attractions to see in the south such as Palmitos Park, a very large bird park with a variety of species.

Some other great attractions include Cocodrilos Park, which houses the largest collection of crocodiles in Europe. It also houses many other animals such as monkeys, tropical fish, as well as birds of all kinds! It will be a great day out for the family. Or why not just hit the beach and relax with cocktail while the chilrend build sandcastles and bury you.

Watch the sunset before heading back for a tasty dinner. Or if you do not have children, why not set out for a night on the town, there are many great bars and clubs for you to dance the night away.

If you choose to hire a car you can drive around the whole island! There are many highways which circle the island so you can discover something new everyday! Choose yourcar hire Gran Canaria and enjoy stunning scenery while relaxing and enjoying the sunshine.
