![]() I hear it's peak season in the Canary Island, off the coast of Africa (though Spanish colony).
Have you any of you folks been to the beaches on the island of Gran Canaria? What is more or less the beach dress code? Any suggestions on hotels? Thanks guys! |

![]() No personal experience but considerable tourist activity in the southern half of the island where are the better beaches (and less rainfall) . Not aware of any speedo-wearing problems encountered there and Playa Las Americas most popular - too much so and overbuilt and tatty for some tastes however.
I would question "peak season" as we are in December, with the highest annual precipitation. Best annual daytime temperatures are in fact recorded for August/September. Btw, "colony" might be offensive to the citizens of The Canaries which is an Autonomous Community within Spain (the name means dogs not birds). Spanish regional administration is a minefield of confusing arrangements whereas France simply integrates its overseas territories as departements of the homeland. |

![]() Try the dunes at Maspalomas on Gran Canaria.
Plenty of space there for everyone, and you are likely to find speedo wearers about. Not been there myself but have heard good reports. Watch the videos on this site: http://www.nighttours.com/grancanari...aspalomas.html |

![]() From some things I've read on other boards, there are several areas on Gran Canaria where you would be overdressed in anything beyond your bare skin!
