Package holiday to Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria, the third largest of the Canary Islands, rightfully bears the nickname miniature continent: on just 1,560 square kilometers, it combines Sahara-like dune landscapes, subtropical laurel forests, rugged volcanic mountains, and kilometers of sandy beaches. The spring-like climate year-round with average temperatures between 20 and 26°C makes the island a perfect travel destination in any season.

The dunes of Maspalomas in the south stretch over six kilometers in length and resemble a piece of desert by the Atlantic — a nature reserve with its own ecosystem of wandering dunes, an oasis, and a lighthouse from the 19th century. The Roque Nublo, an 80-meter-high basalt monolith at 1,813 meters altitude, is the island's landmark and offers a panorama over the entire island up to Teide on Tenerife after a one-hour hike.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the lively island capital, surprises with the historic district Vegüta, where Columbus stopped before his Atlantic crossing, the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Ana, and the Museo Canario. The city beach Las Canteras is considered one of the best city beaches in Europe. The mountain village of Teror with its pilgrimage church is the spiritual heart of the island, while the Cüva Pintada in Galdar fascinates with pre-Hispanic wall paintings of the indigenous people. The Canarian cuisine offers Papas Arrugadas with Mojo sauce, fresh fish, and local cheese.

Gran Canaria particularly impresses with stunning beaches, excellent cuisine, family-friendly offers, first-class relaxation options. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
