Gran Canaria is the third largest island in the Canary Islands, and has the largest population. It's often described as a "continent in miniature" because it has so much variety to offer.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in the North East of the island, is one of Spain's largest cities and the second-largest port in Europe.
The island of Las Palmas has a beautiful climate and many fine sandy beaches. You will also find extraordinary historic buildings and it is a wonderful setting for water sports.
