Book flights to Gran Canaria

From its leafy and vivacious north to its green mountainous centre and desert-covered south, Gran Canaria’s terrain is dramatically different depending on which part of the island you’re visiting. Here you can delve into a whole range of outdoor sports, visit one of the many beaches or take your time exploring the historical capital, Las Palmas.

Fly to Gran Canaria with British Airways and uncover the island’s secrets. Visit the Catedral de Santa Ana, a neoclassical cathedral. Construction started in the 1400s and took 350 years to complete. Then head to Playa de las Canteras, a 3km stretch of yellow sand that’s traffic-free and perfect for snorkelling and relaxing. Travel inland to visit the Cueva Pintada Museum and Archaeological Park, where you can explore the remains of cave houses from pre-Hispanic times. Make sure to visit the south of the island too, and wander the dunes of Dunas de Maspalomas, which are housed in a nature reserve. Book your Gran Canaria holiday now.
