If you're looking for a getaway that offers variations in climate and landscape, head over to the ‘mini continent' of Gran Canaria where there is a bit of everything.
Third in size among the Canary archipelago, Gran Canaria has the lights and blitz of a big city in the way of the capital Las Palmas. But it also offers tranquility and a strong connection to nature by way of its rich woodlands.
Just over 100 miles (150 kilometres) off Africa 's western coast, the almost perfect circle that is Gran Canaria is only 30 miles (50 kilometres) across.
The variants in climate start at the north end of the island with its damp and lush green valleys then head toward the south with dry stretches of beach that bring to mind vast deserts.
At the northern end of the island, towards the east, you'll find the beaches of Alcaravaneras and Las Caletas, and nestled between them is Las Palmas . Head further inland and you'll come to the highlands. Drive through the many villages surrounded by splendid orchids and banana plantations.
While the entire island offers points of interest, many tourists find themselves drawn to the beaches of Maspalomas or Playa del Inglés. Here you can spend a relaxed day dragging your feet through the miles of soft, warm sand.
