Best cities to visit in Gran Canaria
- Maspalomas: The trendiest location in Gran Canaria is not only full of resorts and a buzzing hub for nightlife and fine dining, but also boasts incredible beaches and natural beauties, such as the Maspalomas dunes.
- Roque Nublo: Hiking to Gran Canaria’s famous natural volcanic rock is a must for anyone who visits the island. Located in the UNESCO Roque Nublo rural park, the emblematic rock sits at 1,813 m altitude and is an astonishing 67 m tall.
- Pico de Las Neves: Standing at 1956 m altitude, Pico de Las Nieves is a popular tourist attraction for the incredible views of the island available from its highest point. The road to the top can be narrow and challenging, so a compact yet potent car is best for reaching the mountain’s peak.
Summer in Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria’s beaches are world-renowned, and summer is the peak season to enjoy the best of Spain’s sunny climate, white-sand beaches, and crystalline waters. Playa de Amadores is a popular destination for families, with many water parks and child-friendly resorts nearby, while Playa del Inglés is known as Gran Canaria’s party beach.
