Gran Canaria – An Overview

With many full time international residents and thousands more in winter, Gran Canaria is an easy place to relocate to and to feel at home in. It has the best climate in the world, with an annual average temperature of 24-28ºC and famously blue skies with no less than 80 beautiful beaches where you can enjoy the weather to the full.

Just a few hours flight from mainland Europe, Gran Canaria is easy to reach and yet feels decidedly exotic, making it the perfect place to invest in a holiday home. One of the major advantages of Gran Canaria, compared to some of the smaller islands, is the diversity it offers. There is so much to see and do that people return to the island year after year, constantly discovering new corners and enjoying new experiences.

Gran Canaria is home to almost half the population of the Canary Islands and offers a great variety of properties for sale and rent. When choosing a home on the island, it is very important to select the right area for your purposes as there are dramatic differences in terrain and climate from one area of the island to another. The north is much greener and cooler that the south for example and the centre of the island is extremely mountainous.
