We found a small and informal but delicious Thai restaurant in Playa del Inglés and we think everyone should try it. Sawadee in San Agustín, and soon also in Meloneras where the outdoor cinema used to be, is a great Thai restaurant but it is also quite big and even…

Bululú, quite appropriately on the corner of Calle Veneuela and Olof Palme in Las Palmas, is a South American restaurant that looks towards the Caribbean and beyond for its inspiration. Its food is a fascinating fusion of South American and Latin Caribbean ingredients and dishes with a healthy hint of…

We stopped at Blossom Art & Food for lunch just because it looked so pretty and most of the other stands at the food strip on the top floor of The Market wetren't open. The serfvice was frioendly and efficient and the food did look like a piece of art.…

Breakfast by the beach has always been a bit of a challenge in Las Palmas. Most of the bars and restaurants along Las Canteras beachfront will do you an early cofffee but they really start with the lunch crowd. However, things are looking up and several Las Canteras spots now…

You have to up early and very lucky to find the Bandama Caldera full of mist like in Lex's photo. It only happens a few days every year and clears as soon as the sun starts to warm up. However, there is a lot of stuff to see and do…

Parallel to Mesa y Lopez, the pedestrian Ruiz de Alda has become a firm favourite as a lunch spot for Las Palmas locals. It's always busy but most places have a free table even at peak times. As always, if you want a guaranteed spot, turn up early at 13.00…

Lex loves the Pizzeria Dibe in Puerto de Las Nieves but I think that's because he is a pizza-starved vegetarian who lives in the sticks. Dibe is very good but for my money, the best pizza restaurant in Gran Canaria is Pizzería Da LUIGI on Calle Torres Quevedo just behind…
If driving around to see different landscapes is your thing, you're in luck: it's what I do a lot wherever I am, and of course as well at the island I live on. Included you'll find links to the routes on Google Maps. Road choice 1: GC200 One road is rather…
Now, I'm vegetarian. So I do like that Italian restaurants exist. As it happens, I do like good pizzas too, and if friends ever go to a good, new pizza place, chances are they will tell me about it. And I've been to the really good pizza places all over…

Gran Canaria: Europe’s nudist capital There are thousands of naked people on Gran Canaria’s beaches every day. So many, in fact, that it has to be the world’s leading nudist destination. And yet, apart from the famous nudist areas at Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés, it’s nudist beaches…

Tourists love big, sandy beaches with plenty of amenities and umbrellas for rent. Canarians, on the other hand, prefer their beaches to come with fish restaurants, or to be completely natural. We covered the Top Ten Tourist Beaches in Gran Canaria here, but this post is about the beaches that the locals keep to themselves.
