Gran Canaria is to host the Spanish edition of the famous Porretta Soul Festival at an as-yet-unknown beach on the island, according to local producer Dania Dévora.

Dévora has acquired the rights to the Porretta Festival for Spain, and already holds the rights to WOMAD in Spain, and plans to hold the festival at the end of July or beginning of August 2015.

Porretta Festival has run for 28 years in Bologna and this year's line-up includes Bernard Pretty Purdie, Joe Arnold, Derek Martin, Chick Rodgers, David Hudson, Sugar Pie DeSanto, Frank Bey & Anthony Paule All Star Band feat. Sweet Nectar, Theo Huff, Prince Phillip Mitchell and Wee Willie Walker.

 WOMAD has traditionally been hosted by Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, but last year moved to Gran Tarajal in south Fuerteventura.

Dévora plans to announce the location, exact date and line-up of the Gran Canaria event in the next few days, although he has confirmed that local act the Sugar Hill band will play the main stage.

We'll keep you posted.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
