There's a spider living in Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands called the False Widow (Steodota nobilis). It never bites anyone local, but the British tabloid press makes it sound like a tarantula with a bad attitude.

We've been coming to this island for many years and would love to live there. 

Perfect climate and very gay friendly. 

Throughout the years we've met many people we now call friends.

WE LOVE THIS ISLAND.

Me and my husband come to Gran Canaria twice a year in March and in October or November.

This is a photo of me in the Europa Center, I think it was November 2010 on our honey moon, it's the best place ever !!

This is our tenth year coming here for our summer break.

We love the weather, the food, the people and it's so easy to get around the island.

This is us enjoying a fabulous meal out this week :)

For more than ten years we've been coming to Gran Canaria. At least once a year, and if we can twice. We stay at the Riu Don Miguel where it feels like we're at home.

But that feeling we have with all the people on Gran Canaria. Sometimes I say that I think that I was a Canarian in my former life.

In september we'll be at the island again, for three weeks. Lovely. It's just like coming home for us.

We visited gran canaria twenty years ago for the first time, but there were no hotels yet beyond the light house. Six years ago they were building Baobab and we made a reservation, it was not ready in time so they offered us Villa del Conde. Ever since we recommend Maspalomas to everyone who is looking for a great vacation.

Our family visited all the Lopesan hotels now and we visited Baobab twice which we normally never do.

Maspalomas is most certainly one of our favourite destinations.

My wife and me enjoy our holidays always in february on your wonderful island.

We always stay in Suites Princess in Lago Taurito. 

These are always the best two weeks of the whole year! :)

Greetings from Vienna!!

NASA has dubbed the 2015 Perseids as the must-see 2015 meteor shower and Gran Canaria is a great place to see them.

It's sunny this morning but south Gran Canaria is still recovering from the shock of yesterday's unexpected (to put it mildly) thunderstorm in Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas resorts.

  • 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.
