Christmas in Gran Canaria shines in its cultural, culinary and commercial offer, in addition to the island’s mild climate, nature and fusion of tradition and modernity.

Sand does not make a distinction or cares about where the bare feet of the people who walk on it come from. And the waves that break on the shore speak a language that everyone can understand, no matter what their mother tongue is. All differences are washed away by the gentle breeze and the white foam, at least for a moment. That is why Gran Canaria displays its Christmas spirit on the beach, by recreating an ephemeral Sand Nativity Scene that carries a universal and timeless message.

In Gran Canaria there are numerous dive sites which are ideal to explore the biodiversity and beauty of the island’s seabed through snorkelling and scuba diving.

Is it possible to fly underwater? An inhabitant of Gran Canaria’s seabed has shown us that it is indeed possible. It moves at a leisurely pace, almost in slow motion, barely stirring the water around it, like a butterfly fluttering through the ocean. The magnetic elegance of this type of stingray is just one of the wonders that await those who venture into the depths of the island.
