Gran Canaria Timeshares

One of the two largest islands of the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria is located in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Africa and is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Europeans. As you look at some of the available Gran Canaria timeshares, it's important to think about the shoulder season and when to visit. The best time to visit for great weather is in the late spring and early summer as the island sees little rain and temperatures in the low 70s Fahrenheit (low 20s C). You can easily find timeshares on this great island that are close to fun attractions.

Protected Areas

More than 40% of the island is made up of protected areas. These areas offer protection for both the animals that live there and the natural fauna but can be open to the public. Six of these are nature reserves such as El Brezal and Los Tilos de Moya. You'll also find two natural parks that include Tamadaba. If you want to learn about the island, you should plan a trip to one of the natural monuments. Gran Canaria is home to 10 natural monuments, including Tauro and Amagro.

Fun in the Water

To have fun in the water, the best place to visit is Maspalomas Beach. At more than three miles long, it lets visitors easily find the perfect spot to enjoy the white sands. The large dunes on the beach offer some privacy too. Not far away from the beach is Aqualand, one of the country’s best water parks. Whether you want to try some thrilling water slides or relax in a quiet pool, you can do it here. The park also boasts sun beds and lockers that you can rent for the day. Fans of the ocean may also want to book a trip for a whale-watching excursion.

Head Inside

Gran Canaria also offers impressive indoor attractions to complement the outdoor ones. Vegueta Old Town is one of the oldest neighborhoods on the island and filled with museums, shops and restaurants. The Painted Cave is an archaeological park with an on-site museum that lets visitors view some of the artifacts that workers found there. With museums such as the Elder Museum of Science and Technology and the Canary Museum, you can cool off in the AC and learn things you never knew before. Many of these attractions are close to the leading Gran Canaria timeshares for sale, and you can find out more as you review the selections available on the resale marketplace of BuyaTimeshare.com.
