Gran Canaria is an island within the Canary Islands group and is situated in the Atlantic Ocean. It is approximately150 kilometres from the coast of Africa. As the second most populated Canary Island, it has gained a reputation as a popular holiday destination, being only a few hours flying time away and boasting hours of sunshine every day.

Gran Canaria is an Island of discovery through its history of being the crossroads of many cultures and its consistently mild climate. Its location at the southern extremes of the European continent makes it a popular location for holiday visitors who use the myriad of available flights from the colder countries of Europe to enjoy warmer temperatures, particularly during the winter months.
