About Gran Canaria, Maspalomas & Playa del Inglés
Gran Canaria is by area the third largest and by population even the second largest of the Canary Islands. It is geographically closer to Africa than to the Spanish mainland. The climate of Gran Canaria is strongly influenced by the trade winds, whereby the north of the island is often cloudy, rainy and much cooler than the south, which is caressed by barren winds from the Sahara and where it therefore only rains on an average of 6 days per year and an ›eternal spring‹ dominates with temperatures of 18 to 27°C.

Gay Canary Islands
Gran Canaria has consolidated itself as one of the most popular gay tourist resorts in Europe. Only a few hours flight away from the Old Continent's main cities, the island acts as a meeting point for tourists looking for temperatures between 18 and 25 degrees all year round.
The accommodation offer is as varied as the Island itself and as welcoming as its people. You can find accommodation in pretty bungalows or apartments on the coast or small region hotels on the central area of the island for those who prefer to enjoy nature. You can also discover a wide variety of services intended for rest and relaxation from a spa session to a mud bath.
But above all, Gran Canaria offers a whole host of beaches for sun and sea lovers. In the south of the island, we detect Maspalomas beach, which stretches for several kilometres, immersed in an enormous field of dunes, offering the opportunity for everyone to enjoy a day at the beach. There are peaceful areas for nudism and more lively areas around the ‘beach bars'.
