If you still haven’t worked out what you are going to do tomorrow, there is a buffet and party at Bar Pio Pio in Tauro and you can expect all the old cheesy Christmas tunes you love so much! If you are staying in Puerto Rico, you can walk to Tauro via the Amadores beach walkway else get a taxi.
Bar Pio Pio is situated on one of the last remaining natural beaches in the south and if you want to know more about this bar, you can have a look at their website.

If you are going to be in Gran Canaria for Christmas or New Year (or both!) you might like to visit Holiday World which is in Maspalomas. On Christmas day they have activities for kids from 5pm until 11pm, including a Santa grotto, face painting, clowns and a show. There are fairground rides there too.

On New Year’s Eve there is a party from late afternoon until 4am, including food, drink, live music and more. The price of the New Year’s Eve party is 30 euros a head but the Christmas one is free to enter. Holiday World is near the Faro 2 shopping centre in Maspalomas so you might like to have Christmas dinner in one of the restaurants there and then head over to Holiday World with the kids.

Christmas in Gran Canaria is very special and a lot of people come every year. Actually, if you are thinking about coming for Christmas holidays in the sun, you might like to book now because a lot of the hotels in Gran Canaria get very full over Christmas and that’s when the prices go up!

The Christmas traditions in Gran Canaria are very enjoyable and you can see Canarian cribs in the town squares and houses and hear carols being sung. The main streets are decorated with Christmas lights and on January 5th, which is Epiphany, you can see the Procession of the Three Kings. This is also called Dia del Reyes and it’s when the Canarian children get their presents.
