Gran Canaria is an island of enormous natural wealth, which is formed in part by its outstanding and plentiful high quality beaches, of which the vast majority have white sand and some are unique in the world.

Culturally speaking, Gran Canaria is synonymous with mixed races. This characteristic has been inherited from its historic condition as a traveller’s cross-roads and the fact that it is a society that is naturally open to anything that may come from the high seas.

The passing of time has left a wealth of great archaeological, artistic, architectural and ethnographic value, testimony to the cultural evolution of this insular community. A historical wealth has been passed on from the island identity that has been enriched and accompanied by many cultural and artistic displays that bestow upon the island some singularities that are unusual in such a small territorial space.

- Climate: With average annual temperatures that oscillate between 18 and 25 degrees centigrade, Gran Canaria has a year-round springtime climate, recognised by the scientific community as being one of the best in the world thanks to the humid and fresh trade winds coming from the Azores anticyclone.  More Factoids
