Gran Canaria sits almost right in the middle of Spain's Canary Islands. Nestled between Fuertventura and Tenerife, Gran Canaria is a prime destination for Northern Europeans looking for that winter sun. With its year round spring-like conditions and over 3000 hours of sunshine a year, it is not hard to understand why.
