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 ...

Gran Canaria – perfect place for a perfect vacation

Monday, June 20th, 2011
It was exactly 8 o´clock when I woke up. I turned around and looked at the window in my room. The sun had already risen, and some people were cleaning the beach at Playa del Inglés. I decided to stand up and take a shower. My room in the hotel Sahara Playa was really comfortable. There were three beds in it, although I had booked an single room. The furniture was made in a typical Canarian style. The bath room was big and very clean, I felt very well in it. Hotel Playa As I was hungry, I went downstairs for breakfast. The buffet was many-sided and very tasted. I like typical British food for breakfast, so I ate bacon and eggs and had a glas of orange juice as a drink. Afterwards I went to the car-rental agency ...

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 ...
