Traveling to Gran Canaria: Must-See Attractions
Gran Canaria offers over 60 km of beaches, and the sea is its main attraction. You can choose from livelier resorts like Playa del Inglés, Puerto Rico, Las Canteras, and Maspalomas, or opt for quieter areas like Puerto de Mogán, San Agustín, and Amadores. If you're looking for less crowded spots, head to the beaches of Agaete.
The island is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, so it's an ideal place for nature lovers. Beyond the sea, visiting Gran Canaria by car allows you to explore the island's diverse landscape more deeply.
Among the must-see stops are the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, overlooking the ocean, and Vegueta, the historic centre of Las Palmas, home to some of the island's most interesting attractions. The Museo Canario, which houses relics of the ancient local populations, is also worth a visit. On a road trip in Gran Canaria, you can discover small fishing villages, shopping areas, and lively nightlife, for a truly complete experience.

Driving in Gran Canaria: What are the rules?
Driving in Gran Canaria is the ideal way to explore the island at your own pace. The road network is well-organised and allows for easy access to both the coastal areas and the interior.
When driving, it's important to observe certain rules: pedestrians always have the right of way and often cross without paying too much attention, especially near beaches. Furthermore, the overtaking lane should be used only when necessary to avoid fines.
Many of the most interesting destinations are located outside the city, but you won't have any trouble reaching them: petrol stations are frequent and well-distributed across the island.
Paid parking is common in the busiest areas, but remember that checks are carried out regularly. Parking without paying or parking in prohibited areas can result in hefty fines. If you're coming from a European Union country, you only need your license to drive a rental car in Gran Canaria.
