Trips to Maspalomas | Deals.

BY PLANE

Gran Canaria is located only 4 hours away from the main European cities and the Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) is located only 20 minutes away from the capital city and 15 minutes away from the main tourist centres.

BY BOAT

Las Palmas port is the Canary Islands' first port. It is used as a layover for cruises: over a million passengers from Mainland Spain and other islands visit this port every year. You can also get to Tenerife from Agaete Port. The journey is approximately an hour long.

The journeys from island to island are covered by Naviera Armas, Naviera Fred Olsen and Trasmediterránea.

PACKAGE HOLIDAYS

May travellers buy package holidays including flights, transport to and from the airport and acommodation.

In Gran Canaria you will find a wide range of hotels to suit all tastes and budgets. The incredible natural beauty has favoured the development of rural, charming hotels, ideal for relaxing holidays and for those who love hiking, nature and traditions.

There is a top selection of hotels available along all of the island's coastline, where you will find amazing Resorts and exclusive hotels. Check if your booking includes breakfast. It will probably be a buffet breakfast with a wide variety of cheeses, cold cuts, cereal, yoghurt, juices, breads and sweets. The majority of hotels include warm breakfast and local products. Bon Apetit!

You may take out an insurance policy to cover medical assistance during the trip. We also offer a travel insurance policy, which covers medical assistance, theft and cancellation charges. Several private medical centres and private hospitals throughout many towns on the island offer medical assitance.

MEDICAL ASSITANCE

You can request assistance in any public hospital. The Red Cross has numerous aid stations in many towns and beaches. In case of emergency we recommend going to the main hospitals: Complejo Hospitalario Insular Materno Infantil, if you are in the southern area and Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Gran Canaria Dr. Negrín, if you are in the northern area.

Like in the rest of the country, the emergency number is 112.

The Euro is the official currency in the Balearic Islands. As in the rest of the country, you may use credit cards for most of your financial transactions, especially in the touristic areas, where they tend to facilitate consumption to their clients.  There may be some shops or small bars that only accept cash.

There is a wide network of ATM’s in the main towns of the island, but please bear in mind that banks charge a commission if you withdraw cash with other banks’ credit cards.
