Hotels [edit]

There are many hotels on Gran Canaria and in general they are inexpensive. So it makes sense to settle close to the good beach. Also you may rent apartments with a kitchen and cook for yourself.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Gran Canaria Airport (Las Palmas) (LPA). Hire a taxi. Or you may rent a car at the airport.

When to go [edit]

Any time of year. Keep in mind that the sea water is always cold here, and only in August and September warms up to relatively comfortable temperature.
