Comments:
Stayed at Maspalomas which is very clean and light on traffic. Very easy to get from A to B using the bus or taxi. Would highly recommend taking the bus to Las Palmas for a day out. Do not miss a bus ride to Puerto Rico and then taking the ferry to Puerto Mogen which really is a very nice day out and if you go on a friday it is market day where you can barter for some bargains.
Useful Tips:
Pack light going as you are sure to find some bargains. Purchase your booze at the local supermarket and pack in your suitcase to come home as it is quite a bit cheaper than the airport duty free.

Comments:
There is something for everyone on Gran Canaria. Great beaches: Playa Amadores being the best. Great walks in the hills and along the coast.Try walking from Playa Del Ingles round the sand dunes to Maspolomas and onto Meloneres and back. You`ll pass great scenery,the faro,restaurants, shops and fountains. When eating out allways ask to substitute chips for Canarian potatos with Mojo sauce, they are fantastic! Seek out bargain drinks such as £1 a pint at Sinatras in Puerto Rico.
Useful Tips:
Never pay the price on the ticket! You are expected to haggle; and shop around. Be aware of annoying PR`s. Especially on top floor of `The Shopping Centre` in Puerto Rico.

Comments:
Gran Canaria is a great place for a holiday for all the family. There is plenty of things to do. There are many great restaurants, and of course sunshine all year round.
Useful Tips:
Remember duty free restrictions and keep luggage weight within allowance. Buses in Gran Canaria are fairly cheap so be adventurous - use the local bus service. Arrange your own trips to the main attractions on the island - its much cheaper than paying 'excursion' prices.
