Why choose Gran Canaria as a holiday destination?
The perfect climate all year round
Gran Canaria's climate is one of the island's greatest attractions. With mild and pleasant temperatures throughout the 12 months of the year, we can say that it is the island of eternal spring. Temperatures range from 18°C in winter to 28°C in summer, making it a perfect destination for both those looking to escape the winter cold and summer sun lovers.
Gran Canaria also has varied microclimates, so you can enjoy sunny days in the south, where our exclusive Grand Horizon in Puerto Rico is located, while exploring cooler landscapes in the north or the mountains in the central part of the island, such as in Agaete or Sardina del Norte in the north, in the villages of Teror and Tejeda or in Roque Nublo.

Although Gran Canaria has a favourable climate all year round, there are periods that you may prefer over others depending on the type of trip you are looking for and your preferences.
