Brad Pitt's Las Palmas sheets are still warm and we already have hot rumours of more movie interest in the Canary Islands.

Game of Thrones producers are considering the Canary Islands as a set for the filming of seasons seven and eight of the world's most popular television program, according to a MeridiaNews report and Canarian Presidente Fernando Clavijo.

MeridiaNews, which focuses on news from the Canary Islands and Atlantic region, reports that producers have scouted Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. It states that Tenerife seems to be ahead as a location because of the landscapes of the Las Cañadas area around Teide volcano. 

The negotiations are being carried out by Canarian company Sur Films which also brought the filming of Allied to Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura.

    Tip Of The Day: Avoid Bank Card Charges By Paying In Euros

    Save money and avoid rip-off bank charges while in Gran Canaria by paying in euros when using your credit or debit card.

    Many bars and restaurants in Gran Canaria, and in almost all European holiday destinations, give you the option of paying in euros or in your home currency. Opting for your own currency, while it may seem like the safer option, can add as much as 5% to the bill as it triggers dynamic currency conversion. 

    DCC basically means that the exchange rate is calculated at point of sale rather than by your bank. It allows you to see the total cost of the transaction in your own currency but adds up to 5% to the total because it uses a terrible exchange rate. 

    Since the extra money is shared between your bank and the merchant, some places will automatically bill you in your own currency and hope you don't notice. You have the legal right to refuse and void the transaction should this happen. 

    ATMs too

    The same applies when taking money out of ATM machines in Gran Canaria (and anywhere in Europe); Always choose the local currency option to avoid losing money to poor exchange rates.

    If you opt for the local currency option, using bank ATMs is often the cheapest and safest way of getting euros in Gran Canaria. It's far safer than having a big pile of euros hidden in your room or tucked into your shorts.
