Of course there are the resorts. Whether you like your slice of beach served up with a side of white washed village or high rise hotel, a Gran Canaria summer holiday delivers to all tastes and predilections. If you have a passion for neon lights, Playa Del Ingles is hard to beat but if you prefer something more tranquil your base for a summer holiday to Gran Canaria needs to be Teror with its magnificent church and serendipitous market or maybe you'd like the laid back atmosphere of Aracus, the centre of Rum production.

One of the beauties of a summer holiday to Gran Canaria is that you can tour the whole island during your stay, if you aren't too distracted by the temptations of the beach, of course. Old fishing villages, banana plantations, farmers markets, churches of every conceivable shape, style and size, museums of history ancient and modern, dinky harbours and flash marinas. Can't think of anything I missed from a Gran Canaria summer holiday.
