This Is What Gran Canaria Really Looks Like In December

December 2015 in Gran Canaria December 2015 in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

Gran Canaria in December is about the sunniest place in the whole of Europe. Here's a selection of photos of what to expect if you're heading here on holiday just before Christmas.

Most of these photos were taken during December 2015: An exceptionally sunny month all over Gran Canaria. While south Gran Canaria and its resorts are sunny most days in December, the north is cloudier. Gran Canaria does get a few days of December rain most years, but the rainy spells only last a couple of days and then the sun comes out again.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
