Spain's top court has confirmed that floating weeks sold by Anfi del Mar timeshare resort (and all other timeshare operations in Spain) are illegal.

Gran Canaria's leading timeshare resort had resisted a previous ruling about floating weeks, claiming that it didn't apply to its particular circumstances. The Spanish Supreme court has now confirmed that its ruling was binding and that floating weeks sold by Anfi are illegal.

This means that everyone who bought a floating week from Anfi del Mar is now entitled to cancel their contract and get their money back

The ruling is the latest in a series of Spanish court judgements that have gone against timeshare resorts in Spain and against Anfi del Mar in particular. 

The drive to clarify exactly what timeshare practices are illegal was led by the Canary Legal Alliance (CLA), a Gran Canaria law firm based in Arguineguín. The CLA has become the place for disgruntled timeshare owners to go to try and recover the money they spent on timeshare products. 

The Spanish Supreme court has also confirmed that it is illegal for timeshare resorts to take deposits from buyers. The CLA has estimated that this alone could invalidate 80% of timeshare contracts.

To find out if your timeshare contract is illegal, fill in this form and the CLA will contact you within 24 hours.

    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.
