Property on Gran Canaria

Thursday, April 15th, 2010
Gran Canaria is a popular holiday destination all over the year because of the mild and pleasant climate.

The temperatures are between 26 °C and 28 °C in the summer months and between 22°C and 24°C during the winter months. But not only the good weather and the sunny climate are the reason why Gran Canaria is so interesting to visit.

On the isle of Gran Canaria you can find such a big variety of landscapes as in nearly any other place. It has many sights to offer and many beaches to take a sunbath or practice water sports.

Another must on Gran Canaria is of the church of Santiago de los Caballeros. This church built in the baroque style dates from the 18th century. It is a jewel and all the culture interested holiday makers should visit ...

Surfing, a possibility to practice this great sport in your holiday

Friday, August 1st, 2008
The best place for surfing on Gran Canaria I can recommend is Castillo del Romeral, placed on Gran Canaria's east coast. About three kilometers from the center of Castillo del Romeral you just have to follow the path in southern direction to get to this surfers paradise. Surfer You will be suprised! Alltough this place is not that far away from Playa Ingles, it is not that touristy. Near the rocky beach along the surfing spot you can find a nice little lake with lots of birds and little fishes. And if you should become hungry by surfing, take a look at all these tiny seafood restaurant along the coast or just ask one of the locals where you could get something special to eat.

Peddlars market on Gran Canaria

Sunday, June 1st, 2008
If you visit Gran Canaria, you must absolutely go to see the peddlar market in San Mateo on Sundays. The truckers sell their products: every kind of vegetables, fruits, healing plants, flowers, etc. Best of all their specialities is "chorizo del teror " (a very hot paprika sausage). Then you can drive by Tejeda in direction to La Cumbre and enjoy a miraculous view. It´s really worth visiting markets on Gran Canaria with their typical atmosphere and their valuable products and traditional specialities.

“The branch” without branches

Friday, August 3rd, 2007
One of the most famous, if not the most famous, 'fiesta' on Gran Canaria is "La Rama", which literally means 'the branch' but is at the same time short for "La Bajada de la Rama" or 'the descent of the branch', is held every year in August 4th, which would be tomorrow. Traditionally the celebration is about going up the valley of Agaete dancing to the sound of a marching band, getting some tree branches, previously taken from trees in the 'tamadaba forrest', and taking them down (always dancing) to the 'port of Las Nieves' (the port of Agaete) to Our Lady of Las Nieves, who reside in the port hermitage, as an offering, after hitting the ports' waters with them. The mayor and the different neighbourhood associations of Agaete have decided not to carry branches this year, as a gesture of solidarity for the catastrophe suffered by the island due to ...
