Three wins in a row and Las Palmas football team may pull off its own Cool Runnings story and stay in Primera Liga.

When Las Palmas got into Primera Liga last summer, Gran Canaria partied. But with the hangovers came the doubts. Could Las Palmas compete with the behemoths of Spanish football?

Six points in the first 10 games and relegation loomed like a storm cloud over Maspalomas beach.

By mid-February, and three losses in a row, things weren't much brighter. Even diehard fans muttered the UB40 concert was going to be the stadium highlight of the year.

And that was before one of Las Palmas' players got into a fight at carnival and ended up with 18 stitches in his head.

Las Palmas were looking like the Jamaican bobsled team. They'd livened up the party but just weren't up there with the big boys.

However, you can't keep a team in yellow from a sunny island down for long. Three victories in a row and Los Amarillos have found their groove.

And just like the Jamaicans in Cool Runnings, this is a redemption story. After three failed playoffs in a row, and that cruel last minute crash in 2014, Las Palmas belong in Primera Liga.

It's time to kiss the lucky egg.

Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's Pio Pio time!

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
