Gran Canaria (LPA) is the third-largest Canary Island and a popular holiday destination for holidaymakers around the world. Its proximity to the coast of southern Morocco means hot weather almost all year round on the island. The Pico de las Nieves volcano rises up to 1,950 metres in the centre of Gran Canaria (LPA), hinting at the island's volcanic origins. Most holidaymakers visit the island for beach and swimming holidays. But sports enthusiasts will find many biking and hiking trails and other options for active leisure in Gran Canaria's (LPA) countryside. Some small cafés and restaurants are dotted along the harbour promenade and are especially popular in the evenings.
