Description Gran Canaria
One of seven islands on the Spanish island of the Canary archipelago, Gran Canaria has often been described as mini continent given the variety of climates and landscapes that if offers from the bustling city of Las Palmas to the serenity of the quiet island villages. The Canaries lie about 120 Miles from the African Coast and has a diameter of about 32 Miles. The north of the Island is very humid, with green valleys with long sandy beaches. The Capital Las Palmas lies on the northeastern tip of the Island between two long beaches. The interior of the Island has steep highlands dotted with small villages, with white houses and red roofs. Tourists generally favour the southern coastline, flocking to the well-known beaches of Playa del Inglés or Maspalomas, where the sea washes soft sands and empty dunes stretch for miles.

More Information
	While Gran Canaria has a wonderful climate throughout the year, the south of the island (where the major resorts are located) enjoys its own microclimate with generally better weather than other parts of the island, although the sea breeze can be quite bracing. The average temperature is comfortable all year round, rarely dropping below 63°F (17°C) and more often above 82°F (28°C) during the day. Rainfall in the summer months is almost non-existent, but showers are likely between October and April.
