Gran Canaria is the third largest and one of the seven main islands in the Canaries. The scenery varies enormously and includes volcanic mountains, fertile valleys, banana plantations, steep terraced slopes, pines forests and semi-desert. Likewise the coastline can vary from rocky shorelines, sandy bays, sand dunes or towering cliffs. Gran Canaria is sunny, warm and dry especially the south of the island, which has numerous purpose built resorts that are often incorporated into package and cheap holidays to Gran Canaria. The range of resorts appeal to the old and the young and flights are available from most regional airports throughout the UK.
The island offers a taste of tropical paradise and is like a mini continent close to home with loads of budget apartments and hotels to choose from. The capital Las Palmas is the seventh largest city in Spain and you can buy budget tickets for an open top guided tour that allows you to hop on and off as you please. Cheap holidays to Gran Canaria are available all the year round but many find the heat too oppressive in August and September. However, there are a wide range of festivals throughout the year, so anytime is a good time to visit.
It is easier than ever to find cheap holidays to Gran Canaria if you go online. Today there is much more on offer than the standard package of the sixties. You know the ones, you book with a travel agent and receive all the documentation telling you which hotel you will be staying in and where a coach will pick you up for a particular airport etc.
Now you have so many more options as websites have facilities so that you can build your own package holiday by choosing where you want to fly from and what hotel you want to stay in.
If you are able to be flexible with your travel dates, then it is easy to find cheap flights, as air travel fares can vary from day to day. Some airlines will charge you more to travel on a bank holiday; the day after one or on a Sunday and travelling midweek is generally cheaper than at weekends.
Whether you book well in advance or leave it until the last minute, you will be able to find cheap flights. Naturally booking in advance will give you the best choice of seats. If this is not an important factor then you can still find cheap charter flights as package tour operators book the whole plane and rather than have empty seats, they will offer them at a cut price to those wanting to fly only.
Online travel agents offer last minute hotel bookings similarly and there are often low season bargains so its really is worth your while spending some time looking to see what is available.
