The island of Gran Canaria is located between Tenerife and Fuerteventura in the
Canary Islands, down to the southwest of mainland Spain. Ever popular with adult
tourists and families, Gran Canaria offers everything from sun drenched beaches to
lush forests and barren volcanic landscapes. Spanish property for sale is readily
available around the coast and interior of the island, and is very reasonably priced
when compared to similar properties around the Spanish Costas.
Gran Canaria enjoys a warm climate all year round. It is the second most southerly
island in the group, and is often one of the warmest. Summertime temperatures
generally fluctuate between 25°c - 28°c, occasionally exceeding 30°c in the height of
the summer. During the winter months, the daytime temperature is rarely lower than
20°c.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the island's capital town, is a popular place in which to
own Spanish property. The town itself has an array of architecture - both ancient and
modern - and some of the best restaurants and bars on Gran Canaria. Exquisite
beaches line much of the Gran Canaria coastline. Playa del Inglés and the beach at
Maspalomas, both on the southern tip of the island, are the pick of the crop, and are
also the chosen locations of some of the best hotels on Gran Canaria.
For those looking for Gran Canaria property in a quieter location, inland towns, such
as Moya in the north and Morgan in the south, offer idyllic Gran Canaria property that
is far removed from the hustle and bustle of the main coastal resort locations. That
dream villa in Spain may also be slightly cheaper in the hills than on the coast!
