Gran Canaria hosts two separate food-and-drink events this weekend. One in Santa Catalina Square in Las Palmas, the other at Puerto de las Nieves in the north-west.

Las Palmas hosts the Heineken-sponsored Beer & Music festival featuring 19 types of beer and live music from local bands such as Red Beard, The Birkins and Los Salvapantallas. The event takes place over the weekend and several Las Palmas restaurants are in the food vans serving up their specialities.

Puerto de las Nieves is hosting a more traditional food fair with displays of the best traditional and home-grown produce available in Gran Canaria. The event is on the beachfront at PDLN and features cheese, wine, salt, Agaete Valley coffee, etc.

Luckily, both events happen over the whole weekend so nobody has to miss out. 

The wine-tasting at the PDLN event is at the rather early time of 12.00 on Saturday and Sunday. Who's driving?

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
