The south of the island is particularly popular, with the wide dunes around Maspalomas being one of the most visited areas of its kind anywhere in Europe.

You can expect to find buzzing nightlife elsewhere on the island if top class entertainment is what you are looking for, whilst the mountainous regions to the north make up part of a large Biosphere Reserve.

Dance the night away in Playa del Ingles

Playa del Ingles is one of the top party destinations on the island of Gran Canaria so there is no shortage of options when it comes to a night out. Head for the Kasbah Centre and you’ll find various night clubs whilst there are plenty of bars where you can dance to live music whilst enjoying a drink. The famous Pacha club can be found within the resort.

Cathedral of Santa Ana

Las Palmas Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Santa Ana, is a catholic church that is located in the capital of Gran Canaria and which is regarded as one of the most important religious buildings to be found anywhere in the Canary Islands. Designed in a gothic style, the cathedral dates back to the 1500s and is one of the landmark structures on the city skyline.

Hit the beach

One of the main attractions of a break in Gran Canaria is the beaches – and there are plenty to chose from. Head for the area around Playa del Ingles and you’ll find miles of golden sands where you can lie back and top up your tan, or you could visit Maspalomas where there are huge dunes waiting to be explored alongside the sea.

Caldera de Bandama

Located less than half an hour away from Las Palmas, the Caldera de Bandama is one of the most dramatic sites to be found on the island of Gran Canaria. Standing more than 3000 feet high, the edge of the Caldera provides stunning views of the surrounding area and on a good day, you can even see as far as Fuerteventura. Should you wish, you can hike down into the crater to explore the green landscapes.
