Wondering if Gran Canaria is the island for you, or just missing the place and needing a bit of a sunshine fix before your next visit? Here are six ways to visit Gran Canaria online, all with great photos and videos of the island as well as useful information. 

360º virtual tour

The Canary Islands Tourist Board has a fantastic 360º virtual tour of Gran Canaria (and the other Canary Islands) that lets you soar over the island's top highlights. It includes the Maspalomas dunes, Roque Nublo, the Bandama Caldera, Puerto de Mogán and Las Canteras beach. The footage is stunning and you can zoom in and move around each place. This is like Google Maps but in high definition and well worth playing around with.

Our collection of over 5000 top quality Gran Canaria photos, all keyworded and ready to look through. Just search for the place you want to see and all the photos we've taken will come up. For example, here are 450 photos of Puerto de Mogán to keep you happy until you next walk under the bougainvillea arches.

  • 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.
