The third largest island in the Canary Islands is Gran Canaria. It has the largest number of inhabitants and great diversity thanks to its favourable location.
Gran Canaria’s centre is dominated by mountains and ancient pine forests. The 236 km long coastline features the world’s most beautiful and unspoiled beaches that stretch about 60 km in length. A must see is the impressive Maspalomas beach with its 250 hectares of sand dunes right next to the sea.
The sunniest and driest part of the island is the south, where most of the beaches are concentrated. The mountains in the interior of the island block the clouds from the north, keeping the skies in the south clear and blue year round. Sun bathing and swimming in the sea is possible at any point in the year, and Gran Canaria enjoys visitors from summer through winter. Gran Canaria’s water temperatures range from 18ºC during the winter, to 22ºC in the rest of the year. Gran Canaria’s waters are also famous for their transparency and cleanliness.
The island has also been notorious for health travelers, who enjoy the countless spas with rich mineral waters that provide relief for people with rheumatism, lesions, skin and bone disorders as well as more common problems such as fatigue and stress. However, the entire island is de-stressing and considered a true paradise, offering everything you need to get away from the daily hustle and bustle.
The Canarian archipelago is part of the European Union and has one of the most generous tax systems in Europe. This makes investment, including property investment, on the island very attractive. As Gran Canaria enjoys great temperatures year round, it is a perfect location for buy-to-let investments. Many investors use their properties themselves for part of the year, and rent it out for the remaining months. Gran Canaria’s property prices have shown steady growth with no signs of slowing down in the near future, largely thanks to the increasing interest in the island and its thriving local economy. |
