My Journey to Gran Canaria Island

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011
In the last years i travelled many times to Gran Canaria island. The island is one of the most beautiful places at the canary islands. The capital of Gran Canaria Island is Las Palmas, the same name is used for the Airport at witch every tourist arrives. I stayed in a 2 Star categorized apartment and also in a 3 star categorized apartment. If you would like to have cheap holidays, its the best to book an 2 star apartment without breakfast or other meals because there are many abilities to get cheap food in San Fernando at some supermarkets located in the north of Playa del Inglés. The best place is Mercadona. Playa del Ingles The main time for holidays is september till may. So in this time the prices per week goes up to 500 ...

My delightful trip to Gran Canaria

Saturday, August 20th, 2011
The Canary Islands are one of the 17 Spanish Autonomous Communities. They are located in the Atlantic Ocean west of the Moroccan coast. Gran Canaria was the first of the Canary Islands which I visited a few years ago together with a friend. We had our hotel in Playa del Inglés, a location full of tourists from all over the world. There we enjoyed relaxing in the sandy beach, and after the sun had gone down we spent some time in pubs like Turbo (very cool for fans of rock music) in the nights. However, a Gran Canaria vacation does not mean that you have to go to the beach every day. I would recommend every tourist to see as many sights as possible. One day we took a taxi to the Palmitos Park, a botanical garden in the southern part of the island. There we saw many different ...

Gran Canaria – The Isle of Paradise

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011
The isle of Gran Canaria is the third biggest of the Canaries. The islands are a part of the spanish mainland. The landscape consists of mountains, coastlines and valleys. Valley I travelled to Gran Canaria with my family. There we lived in a bungalow complex with two big swimming pools next to the bungalows. I think this complex was really amazing for kids because the parents can lie in the sun and the children can play in the pool for the kids. We stayed in a city called Maspalomas. This town is situated on the east coast. Maspalomas is famous for its dunes and the beach. I image that we have rent a car because we explored the isle on our own. However there they offer special tours to visit some wonderful places of the isle in a ...

A Trip to Gran Canaria

Friday, May 20th, 2011
A few months ago I just had to get away from everything for a few days. I decided to book a trip online, just any destination and found a last minute offer to Gran Canaria. The offer looked really promising so I decided to book. When I landed at the airport in Las Palmas, the capital city of the island, a few days later, the first impression was the fabulous climate. When I stepped on the tarmac, sunshine and a gentle breeze greeted me, letting me forget about snow and ice that I had left behind just a few hours ago. Las Palmas There was a shuttle bus available from the airport to my hotel in Playa del Ingles, but I had decided to rent a car so that I could be independent from the start. Picking up the ...

The story about my journey to Gran Canaria

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011
The island of Gran Canaria is one of the most popular holiday destinations. The climate here is also warm in winter. I have been there in December 2009 and spent at first some time in the island capital Las Palmas. This attracts visitors with its unique cathedral of Santa Ana in the old town. It is the largest and oldest church in Gran Canaria. It was built in 1500 as a sign of the conquest of Gran Canaria by the Spaniards. But it has been finally finished 1781.
Cathedral Las Palmas
The space in front of the Cathedral, the Plaza de Santa Ana, attracts the tourists with its beautiful buildings from different eras that surrounded this place. Also the home of Christoph Columbus I've watched on my journey. It is located directly behind the cathedral. ...
