Your Expat Community in Gran Canaria

More Information on Gran Canaria

 Gran Canaria is part of the Canary Islands and is the second most populous island on the archipelago (just behind Tenerife). It has been a part of Spain since the 15th Century and is of volcanic origin, although the island’s volcanoes now lie dormant. Tourism is of course the island’s main industry — Gran Canaria welcomes around 4 million tourists every year (it’s only beaten by Tenerife). The island is often called a ‘mini-continent’ thanks to its variety of different climates and habitats located in such a small area. The nature on offer in Gran Canaria is truly spellbinding and is perfect to explore with a few friends on a walk or hike.
