What a lovely December weekend ahead, with a national bank holiday on Friday making it an option, for many locals, to enjoy a long “puente” (bridge) weekend.

This is it!
The big weekend of Christmas lights being switched on in most of the main towns on Gran Canaria with a few more still to come. This also means that the season to get jolly has truly commenced.

Here we go, the Christmas season on Gran Canaria starts this weekend with the first seasonal events, and the Xmas Lights are switched on in towns and shopping centres. Events and activities will continue all the way up to 6 January, when their Majesties, The Three Kings (aka Wise Men) are celebrated on the Epiphany, their special Day. The weather however is not looking so high-spirited over the next few days as some rain is in the forecast,  though south will likely miss the worst of it, as usual.

Hello November!
The first weekend of the month starts with a bank holiday in Spain, a “puente” long weekend. Sun will shine and there are many events taking place this Night of the Dead Finaos weekend, all around Gran Canaria.  Get out and see the island.

It’s the last weekend of October and there are a variety of great things to go, and do, and see, all around Gran Canaria. That being said, autumn rains have finally found us here…
