What To Do When It's Raining In Gran Canaria

Sunday, 28 October 2012 21:01
It doesn't rain often in Gran Canaria but there is plenty to do even it it does.
Rain in Gran Canaria and how to deal with it

 
It's raining in Gran Canaria at the moment but that doesn't mean you need to cancel your holiday or sulk in your room. The chances are there will be sunshine between the showers and plenty of sunny days, especially in the resorts. Even if you are unlucky enough to get a cloudy, wet week, it is warm in Gran Canaria in October and November and there is plenty to keep you occupied. 

Gran Canaria sells itself to tourists as a sunshine destination where good weather is guaranteed. So on the rare occasions when it rains the island always has mixed feelings. Rain is great for Gran Canaria because our farmers, shepherds and forests need it, but it makes everyone feel a bit guilty. There is nothing worse than having to promise bedraggled visitors that it will be sunny "mañana".

 Las Palmas is becoming a major stop off point for cruise ships. In one week in October 2012 23,000 cruise ship passengers will be wandering about. While some don't get past the fast food restaurants in the shopping centre by the dock, Las Palmas is a cool city and it's well worth spending the day seeing its highlights.

Gran Canaria's Huge Container Port

Saturday, 29 September 2012 15:52
Las Palmas' hugely impressive container port

The next time you go shopping in Europe there is a good chance that your purchases spent a couple of days in the Canary Islands on their way from factory to shop. Ships from Africa, Europe and the Americas stop here and drop off cargo that is then reloaded onto other ships and taken to its destination. The Canary Islands have been the Atlantic link between three continents for 500 years and it is fantastic to see that we still are.

Canary Content were privileged this week to get a guided tour of the largest container operation in the Las Palmas port. OPCSA is a private company that handles containers from 74 ports in Europe, Africa and the Americas. Ships arrive every day, some carrying over 15,000 containers, unload and reload, stock up on provisions, and head back out out to sea.

It's a seamless operation and hugely impressive. We watched one huge ship leave just five minutes after OPCSA finished loading containers onto its colossal deck. Before the next one docks the logistics guys at OPCSA already know where every container it carries is going to go.

Cherimoyas: The Most Delicious Fruit Known To Men

We need all the help we can get telling when the seasons change in Gran Canaria. The first cherimoyas or custard apples (also chirimoyas) have hit the fruterias so Autumn must be on its way. While they look green and boring, Mark Twain called them "the most delicious fruit known to men".

About the size of an apple with knobbly, green skin cherimoyas have rich, white flesh that tastes a bit like bubble gum, with hints of banana and pineapple.  The texture is creamy and slightly grainy. Cherimoyas are tart enough not to be sickly.

La Rama Worked: Rain In Gran Canaria At Last

Monday, 24 September 2012 09:41
WTF! Rain in Gran Canaria

The La Rama festival worked this year. Gran Canaria woke up this morning to the unfamiliar sound of heavy rain. While some disgruntled tourists are probably muttering about "going to Greece next year instead" everybody else here is overjoyed. It's been an incredibly dry year and we desperately needed water.

The rain is expected to last for most of today before fading away. Interestingly it has nothing to do with Tropical Storm Nadine, currently heading harmlessly back out into the Atlantic. The current rainfall is due to a plume of hot, humid tropical air from Africa. That's why it has been so hot and sticky for the last few days.
