This week might be a bit hot, even for diehard sun worshippers! We’ve been having temperatures over 40ºC in the daytimes (and not much cooler at night).

Winter is Coming to Gran Canaria
October 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
OK maybe I am exaggerating slightly. It appears to have dropped to about 24 degrees C in the daytime which I am sure is hot enough for most tourists lucky enough to have a holiday to Gran Canaria. For me, that involves wearing a fleece in the morning and evening and putting my fluffy socks [...]
