			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Because af the <strong>abundance of different kinds of fishes</strong> along the coast of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.isle-of-gran-canaria.com/" >Gran Canaria</a> one of the most famous sports here ist <strong>deep sea fisching</strong>. Lots of locals and tourists enjoy many hours by fishing directly on the coast or with an <strong>adventurous deep sea fishing trip</strong>. </p>
<p>The best months for <strong>deep water fishing</strong> are <strong>between May and November</strong>, but even during the rest of the year deep water fishing on Gran Canaria is possible. The most <strong>frecuent angled fishes</strong> are <strong>tuna or bonito</strong>, <strong>barracuda</strong>, <strong>marlin</strong> and <strong>sword fish</strong>. These examples can reach an impressionating <strong>weight and a huge</strong> size. It is very important that the <strong>angling rod</strong> and all the <strong>accessories</strong> are specially made for <strong>deep water fishing</strong> to resist this enormous forces. To take such a huge catch on bord of the boat you need a lot of force and endurance. A <strong>sword fish</strong> can reach a velocity of <strong>90 km/h</strong>, which can be an enormouse energy to resist for the angling rod.  </p>
<p>Who does not really know a lot about deep water fishing shall join such a trip only in <strong>companionship of a well experienced fisher man or a professional deep water fishing crew</strong>. </p>
<p>The <strong>government of the Canary Isles</strong> established some rules about the minimum <strong>size and species of the fishes</strong>, which can be angled. The rules are to protect some species in <strong>danger of extinction</strong>. If you practice deep water fishing you shall be well informed about those rules because the <strong>sea guards</strong> are realizing strenght controls.  For non accordingly deep water fishing the coast and sea guards can punish you with a total of <strong>between 60 and 20.0000 €</strong>.  </p>
<p>On Gran Canaria some agencies and professional deep water fishing organize deep sea fishing tripis for tourists and visitors. </p>
<p>Ahead the coast of Gran Canaria <strong>international records of deep water fishing</strong> have been realized. The records have been recognized by the <strong>IGFA (International Game Fishing Association)</strong>. Deep water fishing ahead the coast of Gran Canaria is a very special experience during a holiday on the <strong>Canary Isle</strong>. Most <strong>deep water fishing trips</strong> are organized in <strong>Maspalomas</strong> in the south and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.isle-of-gran-canaria.com/la-aldea-de-san-nicolas/" >La Aldea de San Nicolas</a> in the Northwest of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.isle-of-gran-canaria.com/" >Gran Canaria</a>.</p>
<p>If you are interested in <strong>enjoying a deep water fishing trip</strong> you can rent a room in one of the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.isle-of-gran-canaria.com/hotel/" >hotels</a> or book a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.isle-of-gran-canaria.com/accomodation/" >holiday apartment</a> or a cottage near the <strong>marinas</strong> of Gran Canaria.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Originally there were two amusement parks focussing on water fun at <a href="http://www.isle-of-gran-canaria.com/"  target="_blank">Gran Canaria</a>:<br />
the so called “<strong>AquaSur</strong>” as well as the “<strong>Ocean Park</strong>”. The last one was located at mid <strong>Maspalomas</strong>, but it is out of order nowadays.</p>
<p>The “Aquasur” finally turned into “<strong>Aqualand</strong>” in the course of the years and makes the largest leisure park of the isle by now. Covering a surface area of about 90.000 square metres this theme park aims at offering a great amount of water- based attractions such as for example more than 30 water slides. There is a certain area addressing at children which also contains a great variety of the park’s mascot, the “Aqualand”- ape.</p>
<p>Another amazing attraction is the famous “Tornado”, a closed flume entertaining visitors by presenting light- and sound effects while sliding. Furthermore there are tourist features like the “Mamut” for four persons, the “Crazy Race” with nine parallel water slides, a “mini park” for kid, the two “Kamikaze” slides (meaning high speed), “Rapids” as special rafting adventures as well as “Aquamania”, “Congo River” and a swimming pool with artificial waves for relaxing.</p>
<p>Situated at a tropical oasis in the southern part of the isle “<strong>Aqualand</strong>” is not far away from <strong>Maspalomas</strong> and is open to the public all- season because of its advantageous constantly warm temperatures.</p>
<p>Without <a href="http://www.isle-of-gran-canaria.com/carhire/"  target="_blank">renting a hire car</a> the amusement park is approachable by using public transport. So there are two bus routes, one of them line 45 (Playa del Ingles / San Agustin) and the other one line 70 (Puerto Rico / Faro Maspalomas).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.isle-of-gran-canaria.com/"  target="_blank">Gran Canaria</a> offers some unique <strong>sailing opportunities</strong> for anyone who enjoys the <strong>ocean</strong> and wants to see the island from a truly <strong>different perspective</strong>.</p>
<p>You can pick from anything really &#8211; <strong>sailboat</strong> or <strong>catamaran</strong> are the most usual posibilities. The many <strong>harbors</strong> and <strong>marinas</strong> along the island offer something for anybodys taste. </p>
<p><strong>Excursions</strong> for a whole day are a popular break from <strong>relaxing</strong> on the <strong>beach</strong> and you can choose to either <strong>explore the waters</strong> close to the island and get some spectacular <strong>views</strong>, or go out further and really get your feet wet in the clear, blue ocean. </p>
<p>One of the most popular <strong>cruises</strong> are trips to watch <strong>dolphins</strong>. The boats are usually equipped with <strong>binoculars</strong> for early spotting of these majestic animals. </p>
<p>Few other places in Europe offer such a unique opportunity and you&#8217;re always welcome to go <strong>snorkeling</strong> or <strong>diving</strong> and explore the <strong>mysteries of the sea</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Dinner cruises</strong> are a personal favorite as there is almost nothing that compares to seeing a beautiful <strong>sunset</strong> when you&#8217;re out on the ocean. Throw in good music and a wonderful meal and you truly have a perfect evening.</p>
