If you’re looking for a cheap holiday, then why not check out cheap package deals to Gran Canaria.

Gran Canaria is the third largest of the Canary Islands, just off the coast of Spain, close to Tenerife and Fuerteventura. If you hire a car, it’s possible to explore the entire island as it’s only 1560 square kilometres, although most tourists tend to stay on the south of the island as it’s slightly warmer.

Whether you choose to stay in the capital of Las Palmas or one of the seaside tourist towns such as Puerto Rico or Maspalomas, there’s always plenty to do with local shops, pretty beaches to explore, dolphin spotting or watersports. Maspalomas in particular is known for its great beach, lighthouse and lagoon.

Gran Canaria is an old volcanic island so you can take a bus tour to one of the volcanoes as well.

There’s something for everyone in Gran Canaria. The shopping, markets, history, simple cafes and restaurants suit those looking for a quieter break whereas for those who have the energy, many beaches boast a range of watersports and a lively nightlife.
