Here's the most important and interesting Gran Canaria news stories of the week.

Las Nasas restaurant on the beachfront at Puerto de las Nieves has a stunning terrace and a huge artwork by the Canary Islands' most famous living artist.

The weather forecast for this week (week one, November 2015) is simple: It's sunny!

The beginning of the week will see a mish-mash of different weather in the Canary Islands although we expect plenty of sunshine in Gran Canaria's resorts (but also cloudy spells and the odd shower). The next few days will be similar.

That's it folks, back to the beach; at least until Sunday afternoon.
