Solar eclipse in Gran Canaria Solar eclipse in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands are the first place to witness tomorrow's solar eclipse.

The eclipse starts at 07.45 and reaches it's peak at 08.39 when 46% of the sun will be behind the moon.

The weather forecast from Gran Canaria during the eclipse is mixed so part or all may be hidden behind the clouds.

If you really want to see it and it's cloudy at dawn, consider heading up to the cumbres where you stand the best chance of being above the clouds.

Watch this video for tips on how to watch the eclipse safely.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
