As part of the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off Africa's northwest coast, Gran Canaria is a relaxing place with idyllic beaches. In Maspalomas, on the southern coast, are endless stretches of sandy beaches bordering tranquil turquoise and azure waters. Back on the beach, you can try a variety of water-based activities like jet skiing or surfing.

Travel west to Puerto Mogan, where you can explore narrow streets and traditional whitewashed houses and bridges that criss-cross a romantic canal earning the village the nickname of Little Venice. Las Palmas’ Old Town of Vegueta dates back to the 15th century and is where you'll find many of its museums and cathedrals including the beautiful Cathedral of Santa Ana.
