Nightlife in Gran Canaria is fun, energetic and varied! This is your perfect cheap holidays experience like no where else in the world! It starts late and goes on throughout the night with most bars and restaurants staying open until past midnight, and the discos and clubs even later (or should we say "earlier"?!). All tastes are catered for... and you can have as wild, or as quiet, a night as you fancy. Hardly a month goes by without a fiesta, carnival or special event... and these tend to be colourful, boisterous affairs, and lots of fun! The Spanish love to dress up - and will grab any excuse to do so, as well as keeping you as a traveller very much involved. If you fancy a party - then Gran Canaria is just the ticket!

The Gay scene in Gran Canaria is famous the world over.

There over 200 shops in the Yumbo Centrum, so put your sensible footwear on, and make a day (and night) of it. You'll be spoilt for choice with the vast range of eating places in Playa del Ingles, and the aromas alone will tempt you in.

Las Palmas, the capital, is the largest city on the island, and must be seen if visiting the island. There are a multitude of bars and restaurants in Las Palmas – with every flavour you can think of. Nightlife here is bouncing and fun.

Puerto Rico is slightly lower key than Playa del Ingles – and is a huge hit with families. The clubs, bars and restaurants are extremely varied and offer a multitude of bargains. Head for the top of the hill for family fun… or stick at the bottom for a younger crowd.
