Holiday rental Spain, Gran Canaria, Booking Direct is an Increasingly Popular Choice.
A holiday rental Spain villa or apartment booked direct with the private owners in Gran Canaria is an increasingly popular choice with holidaymakers. Gran Canaria is the third largest of the Canary Islands and is situated between Tenerife and Fuerteventura, about 210 km from the African coast. The island has a range of resorts to suit every type of holidaymaker, with the lively Playa del Ingles being ideal for gay villa rentals Spain and many other resorts suitable for families and couples looking for self catering apartments to rent in Spain.
It is no wonder that all types of holiday rental Spain accommodation are popular here as this island has a fabulous climate with temperatures ranging from 18°C in winter to 25°C in the summer months. The north of the island is humid, with green valleys and volcanic craters, while the south is arid and desert-like with large stretches of beach. The beaches at Maspalomas are amongst the best in the islands and are divided into four sections. The first section is the best for children and families, the second and the fourth are normally designated nudist beaches and the third is used mainly by the gay community. That is why gay villa rentals Spain are very popular in this part of the island.
Gay visitors tend to congregate in the bars, restaurants and beaches of Playa del Ingles and it is known to be one of the largest gay resorts in Europe. Gay villa rentals Spain are readily available to book here from the private owners direct. Gran Canaria offers many self catering apartments to rent in Spain for gay visitors, and most people find the island has a safe and welcoming atmosphere. For example the Yumbo centre in Playa del Ingles is popular with the gay community especially after 10:30pm when most of the families have gone back to their holiday rental Spain accommodation and the atmosphere changes and you can party on until dawn!
If you're looking for a real Spanish flavour you should consider booking self catering apartments to rent in Spain in Las Palmas, the capital city. You will find the best of everything here including beaches, fine restaurants, marvellous shops, art and culture. An apartment holiday rental Spain in this district will allow you to explore wonderful areas such as the historic and picturesque district of Vagueta in the oldest part of Las Palmas. This area has some beautiful examples of colonial architecture and is like travelling back in time, due to the well preserved cobbled streets and buildings.
More and more people are booking a holiday rental Spain in Gran Canaria to take advantage of the excellent golfing facilities. Gran Canaria has six golf courses and there are currently four more under construction. With great weather all year round it is no wonder that Gran Canaria has become one of the top destinations for a golf holiday in Spain. The El Cortijo Golf Centre, built in 2000, is a small replica of the best American courses and is the only floodlit course in Gran Canaria which allows golfers to play at night when temperatures are more comfortable, especially in the summer months.
If you have booked holiday rental Spain accommodation on Gran Canaria you may be considering whether to hire a car to get around the island. There is a full, if not always frequent, bus service around the island but to really make the most of your visit and explore the beautiful mountainous interior, you will need to rent a car. Most Car Rental Companies will require that the driver is at least 21 Years old and has held a license for a minimum of two years.
