Why You SHOULD Visit Gran Canaria - Island Tour

Join me on this adventure around the island of Gran Canaria, situated off northwestern Africa. It's known for its black lava and white sand beaches. Its southern beaches include bustling Playa del Ingles and Puerto Rico as well as quieter Puerto de Mogán and San Agustín. In the north, capital city Las Palmas is a major stop for cruise ships and duty-free shopping. The island’s interior is rural and mountainous. in the tour we head to . ..
Puerto Rico which has a sandy beach and two small harbours. Inside Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria the majority of shops and restaurants are situated in small commercial shopping centers. the Pasarela center is located closest to the beach, while the main commercial shopping center is at the center of Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria and the new Mogan Mall. Perfect for some Winter Sunshine
Playa del Inglés - is a beach resort in Maspalomas on the south coast of the island of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. It is part of the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and has a massive beach and a popular nudist beach!
Maspalomas Dunes are sand dunes located on the south coast of Gran Canaria. A 404-hectare area they have been protected as a nature reserve since 1987. They were formed by sand from the now subdued marine shelf, when it was laid dry during the last ice age and the wind blew the sand towards the coast of the island!
Puerto de Mogán marina, in the south of Gran Canaria, it has a market held every Friday at Mogán marina sells everything from fruit and vegetables to handicrafts, visitors wander the pretty streets and canals at will and enjoy it’s stylish restaurants know as the little Venice of the Canary Islands
Amadores beach is southwest Gran Canaria is a tranquil man-made beach perfect for relaxing in the sunshine. The beach is sheltered by two dykes so its waters are always calm and its white sand full of sun loungers perfect for sunbathing
Holiday World Maspalomas is the biggest family entertainment center in Gran Canaria to enjoy a great wide of entertainment options from fun fair , amusements and bowling
We also take in the view at the WORLDS BIGGEST CACTUS FARM and so much more!

[@AlodiaLozano]

Next time you're in the island, please let me know. I'd gladly give you a tour on the capital's historic borough, you'll love it.

[@charlix]

Great video about the island, I'm from Gran Canaria living in the UK for many years and it made me feel nostalgic. I would recommend seeing also the country side with its little traditional villages and the "Roque Nublo" that can be easily missed by tourism as they tend to focus just on the coast. Best of luck with the channel!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@anjunakerry82]

Grab Canaria is one of my favourite places on earth, We always stay in taurito which is between p.Rico and mogan. Stunning little cove with water park and beautiful dark, soft sand, we go every Oct for my birthday, last Oct it reached 36c. Never had a bad day for weather in October. We always take taxi round to mogan as the cliff from taurito is still closed off due to rock slid a few year ago. Mogan gives me goosebumps. Son always visit p.Rico but that’s never bothered me.

[@slkonnaris8477]

Superb video! Really interesting to compare the different resorts. The sand dunes look incredible! What are the chances you’d be reunited with your missing flip flop??!! I thought it was swallowed up & never to be seen again haha. The Spar supermarkets in the Canaries are really good - fantastic value and a lot of choice. I love browsing in foreign supermarkets. The chicken was very fond of you & Gaby! Really enjoyed the video!👍👍👍

wow .. I love the island too! bit of a difference then in New York

[@GNeuman]

OMG... This is pure nostalgia. My parents retired to Puerto Rico in the early 90s and had a villa up top. Seeing the original shopping centre has brought back so many memories, one of their neighbours ran an English restaurant called "Winston Churchill'" in that shopping centre..amazing, thank you

[@gemmaroscoe5548]

I've been to Churchill's a few times - loved that place!

[@GNeuman]

@@gemmaroscoe5548 sorry, it was actually called, "Churchills"! Karen and Gareth Williams ran the restaurant, my Mum even waited on there after her retirement! They lived in the same row of villas where my parents retired to. Did you ever try the prawn cocktails? They were a meal in itself! Thanks for replying and keeping the happy memories alive!
