Here are a few Gran Canaria maps to help plan your holiday. The island is located in the Canary Islands archipelago, which is situated on the western coast of north Africa. There are a total of 13 islands, but only 8 have people living on them. If you look closely, it is a bit lower than the rest of the islands (except el Hierro). This many times helps it avoid the effects of cold fronts that come to the other islands, bringing rain.
There are plenty of places where you can pick up a free map. Starting from the airport (small office in the "Arrivals" area), you can also pick up free maps in your hotel reception, and in the following tourist information points, which also have plenty of other information and leaflets:
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria:
- The main Tourist Board office is located in calle Triana 93
- Parque San Telmo
- Plaza de Hurtado Mendoza (also known as "Plaza de las Ranas")
