Gran Canaria is one of Europe’s most popular getaways, particularly for those coming from Northern Europe in the winter, as well as for gay travelers year round. The relaxed, open-minded, and vibrant atmosphere helps to make Gran Canaria, which is part of the Canary Island chain located west of the Moroccan coast, so appealing for gay travelers. Here you get fun, sun, and natural beauty. Whether you are looking to escape life and find a private beach, bask in the sun, or drink wine on a patio, you will find something to tickle your fancy.
I recently had the privilege of taking off on a Gran Canaria vacation with some fellow travel bloggers, including My Normal Gay Life, Nomadic Boys, Two Bad Tourists, Dream Euro Trip, Gastro Gays, and Engineer on the Road. I must also give a shout out to Connextions Magazine, Paso Chico, and the Gran Canaria Board of Tourism for making this trip possible! Check all these guys out to get a peek at their experiences with our action packed week together. Here are come of the sights I recommend you check out while planning your trip to Gran Canaria!
For travelers looking to get away from it all, I would recommend going from Puerto de Mogan in the south to Guigui beach, a secluded beach on the west side of the island. Normally it would take 4 hours each way to hike to this beach. Luckily, www.canariasgay.com will take you and a group of up to 10 friends there for just €95, although this rate decreases if you bring a large group. If you are looking for a trip that is not gay-oriented, www.veleroaventura.com also offers excursions.
