Gran Canaria has been lucky: it is one of the safest destinations in Europe. This is nothing new, as the island has always been at the top of the lists of safe destinations not only during the coronavirus.
Nevertheless, there is another ranking that also puts the island at the top of the list: The low 7-day incidence value. Indeed, it is possible to visit Gran Canaria because of the highest safety, hygiene and quality factors.
If we add to this the infinite attractive factors that the island has, the result is incomparable: an enviable temperature all year round, breathtaking natural landscapes, beautiful beaches, a wide range of cultural activities, a modern city, traditional villages and an exquisite gastronomy. What do you need more?
Why choosing Gran Canaria as your travel destination
There are a lot of reasons to visit Gran Canaria during the whole year, so further below we will talk about the most important ones:
1. The best climate in the whole world
With an average temperature of 28ºC in summer and 22ºC in winter, Gran Canaria is the island of the eternal spring. Even if it may seem that the temperature is a bit high in the high season, don't worry! The trade winds that come from the north cool the atmosphere.
In winter the island is the perfect option to escape from the cold of Europe. A break on a paradise island where you can spend the whole day in the mild open air and where you have a huge number of activities at your disposal that can become unforgettable.
Blue, cloudless skies, little rainfall and sunny days with many hours of sunshine are the reasons for a good mood and not to mention a healthy body. There is nothing better than feeling the sun's rays on your skin and replenishing your dose of vitamin D.
2. It is a miniature continent
Did you know that Gran Canaria is known as the miniature continent? This gives a little hint of what you can find and do on the island.
- Spectacular beaches: Whether the golden sand of the dunes of Maspalomas, great black stone beaches like the one in the fishing village of Agaete or a city beach like Las Canteras in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the island has beaches and natural swimming pools for every taste.
- A breathtaking landscape: the top of the island is marked by the imposing Roque Nublo, which watches over an immense pine forest and ravines and will delight all nature lovers. If you like hiking, cycling or even climbing, Gran Canaria is made for you.
- Sports activities: The island's coastline is ideal for all kinds of water sports: surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing, paddle surfing, parasailing, diving, fishing, water skiing, kayaking...the list is endless. Furthermore, due to the natural conditions in Gran Canaria, it is possible to see whales and dolphins almost every day.
3. Culture for everybody’s taste
Gran Canaria has a first class cultural offer. The island will delight all theatre lovers (especially the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium and the Pérez Galdós Theatre) and museum visitors (such as the Older Museum of Science and Technology or the Columbus House).
But there are also archaeological sites worth visiting that give an insight into life before the arrival of Europeans to Gran Canaria, such as the Cenobio de Valerón or the Cueva Pintada.
4. An exquisite gastronomy
The island is a true sea of flavours. The Canarian gastronomy is one of the most exquisite you can taste. To convince you of this, it is sufficient to mention the famous wrinkled potatoes with mojo picón (a spicy sauce), gofio (corn flour), coffee from Agaete (the only coffee produced in Europe), cheese and wines with Denomination of Origin, bananas from the Canary Islands or fresh fish.
Don't forget to escape the noisy cities and visit the charming villages of the island like Mogán, Teror or Tejeda to taste these delicacies in the famous bochinches, the typical restaurants of the island where you can enjoy a unique canarian cuisine in the best possible atmosphere.
