Tip Of The Day: The Friendly Fish At Las Canteras Beach

Friendly fish at Las Canteras beach Friendly fish at Las Canteras beach www.photosgrancanaria.com

Las Canteras beach is a no-take reserve so there are loads of fish, especially where Luis Morote street meets the sand.

People have been feeding the fish here every morning for years and there's always a big shoal of striped sargos waiting for bread. The best time to see them is in the morning when the tide is low because the fish are hungry and the water is clear.

While it's technically illegal to feed them, there's always someone throwing in a few crusts. Stand in the water and they come right up to you. 

To find the spot, look out for a small rock sticking out of the beach right in front of Luis Morote street. The fish are just to the left (south) of the rock.

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