#SoMuchToLiveFor
Flavours Adventure Culture for you.
Best time to go
As you are travelling around the island you’ll notice differences in temperature and sunshine, but the weather here is rarely extreme and so there’s never a bad time to visit.
Spring and autumn tend to be quieter times with fewer tourists.
Must-pack item
A good pair of hiking boots is wise for scaling the Roques and for more adventurous walking in the mountains and countryside.
As the weather is variable depending on which part of the island you find yourself, pack layers, sun cream and a hat.
How to do it
Gran Canaria is an easy four-hour flight from the UK and a popular holiday destinations year-round.
Many of the historic sites can be reached easily on a day trip or you could hop around the island staying at different points to explore.
Anything else
Many place names come from the language of the original Canarios including Gáldar, Telde, Agaete, Tejeda, Arucas, and ArguineguÃn.
They called the island Tamaran.
