Gran Canaria's Siam Park waterpark looks like a sure bet after getting Canarian Government approval.

We've known for months that the Canarian Government was keen to get the project moving, but there were several administrative problems (such as modifying the proposed train route to go round the park site rather than straight through it). 

It now looks like all these problems have been solved and the Canarian authorities have approved the project. 

At the same time, they also approved the 'Plan de Modernización, Mejora e Incremento de la Competitividad (PMMIC) en el ámbito de El Veril'; A plan to invest and boost competitiveness in the area. 

The Canarian Government stamp was the last one required by the waterpark project after it was green-lighted by the Gran Canaria Cabildo, Canarian Water Authority, Ministry of Industry, Development & Agriculture, and the municipal authorities of Mogán and San Bartolomé de Tirajana.

So far the Kiessling family, owners of Siam Park and Loro Parque in Tenerife, have kept quiet about what their new Gran Canaria attraction will be like. All we know is that it will have the same Thai theme as Siam Park in Tenerife but will have different rides.

    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.
