...A Grand Time In Gran Canaria After a rather over-worked summer, and a few of my own personal problems I needed a good long break where I could forget the alarm clock and completely relax. My normal preferred holiday destination is Magaluf/Majorca, but I felt like going somewhere different, and this time not just for a lively holiday, but a more scenic holiday. All of my friends had been to Gran Canaria before and raved about it for ages, and when they suggested for me to come along with them this year, for a two week break, it was too good an offer to refuse.

...Most people know that Gran Canaria has a very Large gay tourist base why?? well one centre called the YUMBO CENTRUM in Playe del ingles has over 40 bars/clubs/restaurants/shops. In the daytime it is a huge shopping centre on 3 levels and come nightime it turns into the gay centre of the Island, however most straight people also come to this centre for a good night out. Even though its a Gay centre dont let that put you off you have many cabaret bars for all including The New Labelle situated on the ground level, I have been to gran Canaria 20 times in 4 yrs and i love the place, all round excellent weather, good prices £8 for 200 cigarettes, cheap booze, cheap food and freindly people, a must for everyone. Age groups vary, I have met people from 18-70 there so it is a place for everyone including families, a short taxi ride... Read review
