The best packing lists for Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria squeezes dunes, pine forest and real mountains onto a circular island about 50 kilometres across. Coffee in Las Palmas in the morning, Roque Nublo at 1,800 metres in the afternoon: possible in a day, and it takes two wardrobes.

Good to know for Gran Canaria

The south around Maspalomas is reliably dry, while the north-west catches the rain and turns chilly on winter evenings. February brings carnival, and Las Palmas gets loud and crowded after dark.

Bills are settled in euros and usually by card, with mainland sockets and voltage. Desalinated tap water tastes flat, and heavy drinkers of it buy the large supermarket canisters.

Dune sand is exceptionally fine and works its way into every camera bag, so a sealable pouch for electronics is worth the space. The inland ravines carry no springs, so carry more water than feels necessary.
