Gran Canaria Tourist Resorts
Gran Canaria’s major Tourist Centres are all located along the southern coast, which enjoys the driest, sunniest and warmest climate on the Island. San Agustín, Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas and Meloneras are all part of a continuous conurbation, around the Maspalomas Sand Dunes, while Arguineguín, Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogán are all built at the bottom of deep valleys to the west.
Las Palmas
Las Palmas is the capital of Gran Canaria and is, by far, the biggest city in the Canary Islands, with a population of about 400,000. It is a truly cosmopolitan City, having seen immigration from just about every corner of the Globe. Since it’s founding in 1478, the City has played an important role in Atlantic Trade and survived Pirate Attacks and several changes in it’s economic fortunes.
