also do not buy any tech or expensive clothing, many of these shops in Gran Canaria have fake items. Although there are places where it’s real, those places are easy to spot. If a story seems shady tho, it’s most likely fake stuff

I never bought tech on my holiday, except in Tokyo and in Africa once when my phone broke down. But good tip for others in case they would like to do that

We agree with you regarding not staying in a resort, which is so common there. I (Marion) know when I was a kid, and I went with my parents to Gran Canaria that we stayed in a resort. Don't have a lot of memories from the resort at all, but lots of memories from the day they decided to rent a car and explore places off the beaten path. The hotel you guys stayed in was so beautiful! Body language is definitely the best language! We will definitely go snorkelling when we visit Gran Canaria but no cactus picking!

Didn't realize how close Gran Canaria was to Africa- had to go look it up on a map- really cool! That hotel looks really nice, especially that infinity pool on the roof- love it! Good tip on renting a car- it's always so much easier to be able to travel at your own pace.

@@Svenywhere only possible reason is that there has been pretty strong presence of finnish people in Gran Canarias since 1980s. As tourists and people have moved there part time or permanently (speculation).

Interesting video.i agree hire a jeep and explore there are some beautiful areas of GRAN CANARIA I have stayed at HOTEL SANTA CATALINA featured here..A journey back in time pre air travel when Las Palmas was a popular destination en route to other countries by ocean liner. Of course if your quite content staying in PLAYA DEL INGLES and visiting YUMBO CENTRE that says more about you than GRAN CANARIA

True. But for this price. You will just explore so much more and buses aren't going everywhere on the island, so I still think it is worth it. Also for solo travelers

I do appreciate this video but I had a great time staying in a budget 30 euro hotel and using the buses instead of renting a car. The buses are such good value and I think had air con - at least they didn't seem as hot as you'd expect on board. I would not stay in a resort town like Puerto Rico though as you miss out on the culture and the shop owners are quite harassing!
@Svenywhere
@Svenywhere 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah I normally prefer the local vibe by using public transport as well. But because the island is so small my main reason to recommend renting a car is because it gives you so much flexibility back on a trip like this. Especially if you just want to visit some random towns and do a bit of hiking.

Hi Sven, Over vier weken ben ik op Gran Canaria. Wij verblijven het eerste week in de oosten en het tweede week in het westen om volop te kunnen genieten! Nu ben ik opzoek naar een goed en betrouwbaar verhuurbedrijf voor autos. Heb jij hier ervaring mee op het eiland en weet jij of de spaanse bedrijven te vertrouwen zijn? Alvast bedankt
@Svenywhere
@Svenywhere 2 ай бұрын
Hi Daphne, de auto op Gran Canaria was voor ons geregeld. Echter op Tenerife hadden we het zelf gehuurd en het zal niet heel anders zijn. Gebruik een vergelijkingssite zoals rentalcars.com, kijk welke een beetje goed beoordeeld worden en vaak is het het goedkoopste om het daar ook meteen te boeken maar voor de zekerheid kun je ook even bij de aanbieders op hun eigen website kijken. Natuurlijk tijdens het huren maak foto's van alles voordat je vertrekt en in principe zou je geen problemen moeten hebben als je de auto terug brengt. Het is niet anders dan in elk ander land wanneer je een auto huurt.

I'm coming to gran canaria in one week :) I won't be a tourist so much, I'm just gonna stay in Las Palmas to study in the morning and go windsurfing/ exploring in the afternoon. Do you think a rental car would make sense even for 3-4 weeks? (Can you even park for free in Las Palmas?)
@Svenywhere
@Svenywhere 3 жыл бұрын
Las Palmas is paid parking. If you are there for so long you might want to stick with public transport and travel slow and only rent a car for a couple of days. Pretty sure you will have an amazing time. I am already jealous of you.

cactus fruit Place it on the ground and roll it with your foot to flatten the spikes and peel off the outter skin Santa catalina review was very vague descriptions... It has a pool (as do most hotels) was the pools deep or shallow, did they offer heated pools or was the water cold, was there ample sunbeds, did you have to pay for their use, what made the food great or the views great, what made the rooms nice what was the rooms like rather than just saying terms like 'it was nice' , 'it was amazing', 'it was beautiful' the aspect of you reviews needs context more context

The question is how do you get the cactus fruit even of the cactus. But in terms of the review, sorry to disappoint you on that one. This video wasn't meant to be a full review of the hotel. But if you think this would be of value I could provide an in-depth review of this.
