Will the real Gran Canaria please stand up Will the real Gran Canaria please stand up

Bloggers and travel writers obsess about the real Gran Canaria. They write about exploring hidden beaches and finding secret villages. It's silly, to be honest.

Gran Canaria is a fantastic island but, despite what travel writers claim, it's been a long time since someone discovered a new beach or stumbled upon a lost village: There are plenty of places that the crowds miss, but you can't claim to discover them: They're all on Gran Canaria Info for a start.

Resort hell?

Gran Canaria's resorts have shops, restaurants, nightlife and great beaches all within walking distance. Combined with the sunshine it makes them the perfect place for a holiday. 

Lots of visitors stay in Playa del Inglés and Puerto Rico and still get to know the island and so can you.

The real Gran Canaria is your Gran Canaria

We say that the real Gran Canaria starts at the door of your hotel or bungalow: The whole island, from the CITA centre to Carrizal de Tejeda hamlet, is real and because it's such a diverse island, you can choose exactly what you want to do here.

Gran Canaria Info

Between Lex and I, we've been photographing Gran Canaria for over 50 years. As a kid here I roamed all over the island with my botanist parents and even found a new plant growing in the Bandama caldera. Lex loves walking and has never seen a road or path that he hasn't walked down. It makes him late for meetings but means he knows an awful lot about Gran Canaria.

Don't let cliches and travel snobbery put you off Gran Canaria: Look through our photos and articles and decide for yourself.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
