Good afternoon! Travel friends! I want to tell you about a heavenly place on earth! About Gran Canaria! The island of Gran Canaria is not as famous for Russia as other real resorts like Egypt, Turkey, Tenerife due to one reason for rare direct flights. Gran Canaria is well known in Europe, it is a beloved place for Europeans all year round life is seething here and the whole year is sunny and insanely beautiful! I want to open this sunny island for you by citing undeniable facts for you:

The Climatology Department of Syracuse University (USA) conducted research in more than 600 regions around the world and found that smoothly transitional seasons and almost always sunny weather with moderate temperatures is an ideal place for human life. Gran Canaria has become a leader and is a paradise on the planet!

This island is located almost in the center of the Canary archipelago.


Despite its name (Gran Grand), Gran Canaria is only the third largest among these islands. Tourists are attracted here by beautiful beaches, amazing nature, historical sights and vibrant nightlife of youth centers.

Gran Canaria is often referred to as a miniature mainland. On the island you can find most of the landscapes of the archipelago. The island has the shape of a round cone about 60 km in diameter and up to 1950 m high. It is cut in the radial direction by deep ravines. Each territory of the island and almost every ravine is different from each other: in the south - deserts, in the west - impressive gorges, in the central part - pine forests, in the north - strange volcanic monoliths on the peaks, green slopes and black volcanoes. The nature of Gran Canaria is striking in its contrasts. On the coast you will also find amazing cliffs and sand dunes.

This amazing creation of nature is a piece of the Sahara on the ocean with a special, warm and dry climate. It is here that the decoration of the entire island is located - dunes, as high as a three-story house. Maspalomas brings together five resorts with a total length of 8 km of beach and can offer tourist centers of various sizes, which in some cases offer services at the level of a large city, while in others they provide complete peace or the opportunity to practice water sports. In addition to this calm sandy coast, Gran Canaria has wild, steep sections, such as Guigui, or rocky, several hundred meters high, cliffs, such as Anden Verde.

Find your heaven on earth!
