Gran Canaria is the third largest of the Canary Islands and one of the most varied — a miniature continent, as it is sometimes called, with beaches, sand dunes, mountains, forests and a vibrant capital city all within a relatively small area. Flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Gran Canaria operate year-round, making it a popular choice for summer holidays, winter sun breaks and city breaks to Las Palmas.
About Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is a circular island with a dramatic landscape. The interior is mountainous, with the Roque Nublo — a volcanic rock formation — rising to over 1,800 metres. The north of the island is green and lush, with the capital Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, a city of 380,000 people with a historic old quarter (Vegueta), excellent museums and a long urban beach (Las Canteras).
The south of the island is where most UK holidaymakers head. Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés are the main resort areas, with a long beach, the famous Maspalomas sand dunes and a wide range of hotels, restaurants and entertainment. Puerto Rico and Amadores are smaller, more sheltered resorts with calm, clear water.
Why people fly to Gran Canaria year-round
Gran Canaria's climate is warm and dry year-round, with average temperatures of 20–22°C in winter. The island's variety — beaches, mountains, city, dunes — makes it appealing to a wide range of travellers.
