Flights to Gran Canaria - Frequently Asked Questions
+ What is the best time to visit Gran Canaria ?
Gran Canaria (LPA) has warm, mostly dry, spring-like weather throughout the year, so it works well for visits in all seasons. For beach-focused holidays with the hottest air and sea temperatures, June to September brings long sunny days and daytime highs around the high 20s °C. Travelers who prefer warm but not hot conditions for hiking, driving around the island and sightseeing can choose spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November), when temperatures are a little lower but skies remain bright and rain is limited. Winter months from December to February are cooler yet still mild compared with Canada, providing a good option for a winter-sun escape, although evenings and the ocean feel fresher.

Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) is located on the eastern side of the island, about 18 km south of the city centre of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (LPA). By car or taxi, the journey between the airport and central Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (LPA) takes about 30 minutes, depending on traffic.
