GRAN CANARIA<br />
<strong>Luxury</strong> holidays in Gran Canaria centre around its wonderful<br />
beaches. Choose from large golden stretches sheltered from<br />
the winds by craggy cliffs, or little coves where you will find<br />
local fish restaurants and a chance to try some watersports.<br />
Here you’ll find a wide selection of restaurants, huge<br />
sweeping bays, beaches, and activities to suit everyone.<br />
Families will love mountain biking, water parks, and even<br />
camel rides, while couples can explore the history and culture<br />
of the towns, visit the spas and enjoy the island’s many bars.<br />
Gran Canaria offers a diverse selection of resorts to choose<br />
from. Maspalomas is home to sweeping sand dunes which<br />
stretch down into the ocean. For upmarket shops, restaurants<br />
and hotels, choose Playa Meloneras, while Puerto Mogan’s<br />
marina offers a taste of luxury.<br />
VISIT: Playa Meloneras is home to luxury shops where you<br />
can pick up boutique and designer items, perfumes,<br />
clothing and accessories, while golf lovers will find<br />
courses throughout the island. There’s something for<br />
foodies too, with lots of fresh, homemade tapas dishes.<br />
TRY: There are a few touches of Latin American and<br />
African cuisine, with a love for spicy sauces coming<br />
through. Try Canaries classic papas arrugadas con salsa<br />
mojo, or spicy Canarian potatoes.<br />
WHEN: Summers are dry and hot with temperatures<br />
climbing beyond 30°C in July and August. The Canaries<br />
are a good destination for winter sun, too – even winter<br />
and the shoulder seasons stay warm and sunny, with<br />
averages hovering around 18°C.
