Puerto de Mogan:  The marina at Puerto de Mogán is Gran Canaria's prettiest seaside spot and home to some the island's best restaurants.  Mogán is upmarket and close to several of the island's best beaches and the rugged roads heading west.

Puerto Rico has it all for a perfect sunny holiday.  With two beautiful beaches and another (Amadores) next door as well as a shopping centre packed with restaurants and bars, two marinas and quiet corners perfect for a romantic night out.

Maspalomas  is the resort for sunbathing, relaxing and walking.   The sand dunes of Maspalomas are an incredible sight, stretching out along the south coast and covering around 4 square kilometres.  Maspalomas is the place for a peaceful beach holiday and the odd night out in Playa del Inglés.

Playa del Inglés is Gran Canaria's biggest and busiest resort and home to its top nightspots.  While the partying goes on till late, most of the resort is quiet and peaceful and you can avoid the crowds on Playa del Inglés beach by walking east to El Cochino.

Meloneras is a stylish and sophisticated area and its line of seafront hotels are the newest and smartest on the island.  The boulevard is just a few paces away with its upmarket bars and restaurants right on the sea front.

Agaete is located in the north-west corner of the island. It has almost as much sunshine as the southern resorts but remains untouched by mass tourism. And with lots of seaside restaurants at Puerto de las Nieves, the Agaete Valley is a destination in its own right.

Cycling in Gran Canaria is very popular and there are plenty of great cycling routes, from north to south, around the coast and in the mountains where there are many arduous climbs and steep descents to keep the real cycling enthusiasts happy. 

The island of Gran Canaria is round in shape and rises up from the sea like a 'massif'.  In the mountains at the centre of the island lies Roque Nublo or Cloud Rock. This rock, which is 80m tall, is one of the largest free-standing rocks in the world.  

The clouds often descend on Roque Nublo but it's still well worth a visit as it can reappear every so often. 

At 1813m, Roque Nublo is one of the highest points on the island. The highest point is just to the east - Pico de las Nieves - which is 1956m high.   
 
You can walk up to Roque Nublo from Tejeda village or across the top from San Bartolome or Cruz de Tejeda. The routes are well signposted but make sure to bring plenty of water as there are very few shops on route.

Another of island`s main attractions is the immense, deep crater (Caldera de Tejeda) that dominates the centre of the island, providing a drainage network of rainwater which in turn runs down the ravines towards the coastal areas.

The altitude of the island and the complexity of its shape have made it possible for many different micro-climates to exist.  Hikers and walkers will also be enthralled not just by the variety of landscapes but also the huge range of flora and fauna, much of this is unique to Gran Canaria.  Indeed, one-third of the island is a World Biosphere Reserve. 

The most preserved areas are in the southwest of Gran Canaria where the very best pine forests in the Canaries may be found. The Canarian pine is an endemic tree as is the Canary Island lizard, which is very abundant and endemic to the island. Endemic birds include the great spotted woodpecker, robins and the blue chaffinch.

The Hard Rock Café beside the Yumbo Centre, is another very popular spot and some of the best restaurants are located in the Yumbo Centre.

Maspalomas is more upmarket and slightly more subdued than Playa del Ingles. Night-time entertainment is centred around its commercial centres. Here you can enjoy a meal followed by a cocktail in pleasant surroundings and it just a short taxi journey from Maspalomas to heaving Playa del Inglés.

The capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, offers plenty of nightlife with an authentic Gran Canarian feel, which is a mix of mainland Spain and Latin America. There are many bars and clubs around Calle José Franchy Roca in Santa Catalina which play mostly Salsa, but there are also options for most tastes. There are also popular bars in the areas around Calle Triana and Vegueta which offer a more sophisticated atmosphere.

Puerto Rico is not as busy as Playa del Inglés but has plenty of bars.  Most are located in the Puerto Rico and Europa Centres. Centro Comercial is the hub of the action and where most nightspots are found.

Casinos: If all-night clubbing isn’t for you, then there are two casinos to keep you entertained at night - the Casino Las Palmas in Hotel Santa Catalina and the Gran Casino Costa Meloneras, situated next to the five star Costa Meloneras hotel.
