There's a spider living in Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands called the False Widow (Steodota nobilis). It never bites anyone local, but the British tabloid press makes it sound like a tarantula with a bad attitude.
Las Canteras isn't Las Palmas' only beach: Here's a cool video tip about the capital's other sandy beach.
We've been coming to this island for many years and would love to live there.
Perfect climate and very gay friendly.
Throughout the years we've met many people we now call friends.
WE LOVE THIS ISLAND.
Me and my husband come to Gran Canaria twice a year in March and in October or November.
This is a photo of me in the Europa Center, I think it was November 2010 on our honey moon, it's the best place ever !!
This is our tenth year coming here for our summer break.
We love the weather, the food, the people and it's so easy to get around the island.
This is us enjoying a fabulous meal out this week :)
For more than ten years we've been coming to Gran Canaria. At least once a year, and if we can twice. We stay at the Riu Don Miguel where it feels like we're at home.
But that feeling we have with all the people on Gran Canaria. Sometimes I say that I think that I was a Canarian in my former life.
In september we'll be at the island again, for three weeks. Lovely. It's just like coming home for us.
We visited gran canaria twenty years ago for the first time, but there were no hotels yet beyond the light house. Six years ago they were building Baobab and we made a reservation, it was not ready in time so they offered us Villa del Conde. Ever since we recommend Maspalomas to everyone who is looking for a great vacation.
Our family visited all the Lopesan hotels now and we visited Baobab twice which we normally never do.
Maspalomas is most certainly one of our favourite destinations.
I have a lot of pictures from Gran Canaria.
My wife and me enjoy our holidays always in february on your wonderful island.
We always stay in Suites Princess in Lago Taurito.
These are always the best two weeks of the whole year! :)
Greetings from Vienna!!
NASA has dubbed the 2015 Perseids as the must-see 2015 meteor shower and Gran Canaria is a great place to see them.
It's sunny this morning but south Gran Canaria is still recovering from the shock of yesterday's unexpected (to put it mildly) thunderstorm in Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas resorts.
