Gran Canaria, the second largest of the Canary Islands, lies 210 kms off the African coast and is 1250 kms from Cadiz, the nearest European point. A well established holiday island, it has many tourist and holiday attractions.

Huge rolling dunes dominate Gran Canaria’s popular southern coastline. The Maspalomas sand dunes, near the popular holiday resort of Playa del Ingles are a stunning sight backed by a lagoon and nature reserve, and the island’s capital city, Las Palmas, is lively.

The island’s coastal resorts offer soft, sunny beach after sunny beach, while the mountainous interior conceals traditional villages that are waiting to be discovered.

Set beside the rolling sand dunes of the island’s Natural Park and a lagoon, Maspalomas is a paradise for beach lovers and families, with a variety of holiday entertainment including two huge water parks, shops, glittering night life and even camel safaris  and a prestigious 18 hole golf course.

Known as the Venice of Gran Canaria, Mogan is a small, quiet resort 14 kms from Puerto Rico. The bustling resort of Puerto Rico is perhaps, apart from Playa del Ingles, one of the best known holiday destinations in the south of Gran Canaria. The beach is artificial and was created with sand brought over by boat from the Sahara and less windy than the Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles areas.

Up until ten years ago the pueblo of Tauro was a sleepy backwater. Now there are a number of quality villas and duplexes
