Disney agents have been scouring Gran Canaria for locations for the next Star Wars film, according to local press reports.

The next installment of the 'Guerra de las Galaxias' is due to be filmed in 2017 and while no filming locations have been confirmed, Gran Canaria is in the mix. Producers are said to be particularly excited about the Maspalomas sand dunes.

With a wide range of shooting locations in a small area, excellent transport links, and juicy tax subsidies, Gran Canaria is a film producer's dream.

The new Gran Canaria Film Commission was set up recently to speed up the process of granting filming permits.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
