"I return because everyone there is addicted to having fun (and I do not require much persuasion, a new morning breaking and finding me still dancing ...) This year I will also take surfing lessons. Why should I not able to do it? On holidays, I get to choose. Would you like to know what other things I intend to try? The list is huge..."

"Why do I always return to Gran Canaria? Well, it is an island with over 120 beaches. Of all kinds. What can I say? I just love going to the beach! I like going for a long walk every afternoon and then take a dip into the sea before dinner."

"On holidays, I like returning to my atmosphere, getting lost in one of the towns within the island. I relax at some pub and order something to eat... Besides, every year I encounter a new celebration at the most unlikely spot. Have you not heard about the wild and fun parties they throw? Really, at the most unlikely spot..."

"There, I can leave rush and the alarm clock behind. Especially because every summer I become an underwater traveller. Sounds weird, but it is just as I tell you. I know co-workers who would die laughing if they only saw me in diving gear, much in the style of Captain Jacques Cousteau... Well, I could not care less. I really have a great time in Gran Canaria.

"They have 100,000 days of mild and pleasant sun every year (besides, I always make my special discovery every summer)."

"These are my "selfish" days. Every time I go to Gran Canaria, I allow myself a little whim. No one can take away from me at least a full morning at a spa! It is essential to return home revitalised and with a tan. The idea is to make everyone at the office eat their hearts out!"

"In Gran Canaria, I have my small anti-stress secret. It is quite simple. I like watching the sunset by the sea every evening, sitting quietly with my martini and olive, as a true film star. What can I do! It just does not taste the same at my living room! And since life is not limited to going to the beach, on some occasions I dress up for the theatre. Sometimes I attend a ballet night carrying my parasol..."

Avid fisherpersons have an engagement once again in Puerto Rico

The best skippers will set sail to win the Deep-Sea Fishing Contest. One condition, though: you must be able to catch a blue marlin and then release it without breaking into tears on deck.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Drama and Dance Festival

The squares close to the beach become the stage. The public attends in beachwear. The ballet audience carry their own parasol. Is this world upside down? Not at all! It is the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Drama and Dance Festival.
