There are lots of great places to visit during your winter getaway in Gran Canaria and the slightly cooler weather this time of year doesn't limit your fun outdoors! Here are some highlights to check out during the December holidays.
This is among the top beaches in Europe and the largest in the Canary Islands. It is located in Las Palmas and supports numerous water sports. The beach is barred from strong waves by a lava reef, making it the perfect spot for snorkelling and swimming. The exposed side is, however, suitable for experienced surfers.
Roque Nublo is a natural monument protected by UNESCO. It is one of the most visited destinations due to its ideal hiking grounds and the panoramic view of the neighbouring Tejeda Mountains as well as the island's volcanic highlands.
This is the ideal destination for history enthusiasts. It is a recognized archaeological site and a benchmark for the history of its inhabitants. You get a chance to learn about pre-Hispanic life as well as about the original Guanches population.
If you are looking for a quiet environment to enjoy some time outdoors, this beautiful fishing village and port of the interior town of Agaete offers two stony beaches and naturally-formed swimming pools. Several top-notch restaurants offer a variety of delicious seafood dishes.
This is the best option for a family vacation. Pueblo Canario is a traditional village with a rich culture. You can visit the Museo Nestor Gallery and see impressive local artworks or enjoy evening Canaria folk music performances.
