Articles that include this coast

• Tenerife or Gran Canaria: Tenerife grew dearer, Gran Canaria stayed fuller
  The two big islands on government series: hotel prices and occupancy month by month, weather normals at the southern airports, the sea, bathing water, the census by nationality, appraised value per square metre on one basis, rent, winter flights and the drive to hospital.
• Gran Canaria's beaches by water quality: excellent everywhere but Puerto de Mogán
  Grades from the European register for every sampling point on Gran Canaria since 1990: Puerto de Mogán's beach with four seasons of good, El Confital with five seasons of poor, Telde's shore before and after 2016, twelve municipalities and the sea at our four places month by month.
• Gran Canaria or Fuerteventura: about a third apart in winter, level in summer
  Two islands on government series: two years of hotel prices side by side, weather normals, the sea, the census by nationality, appraised value per square metre, rent, winter flights and the drive to hospital. A year ago Gran Canaria cost more in every month; in July 2026 Fuerteventura was the dearer one.
• Gran Canaria or Lanzarote: alike over the year, different month by month
  Two islands on government series: two years of hotel prices, weather normals, the sea, the census by nationality, rent, winter flights and the drive to hospital. Over a year the islands are almost level; month by month their prices run in opposite directions.
• Best time to visit Gran Canaria: weather, sea, the price of a hotel night and who fills the hotels, month by month
  Twelve months on Gran Canaria from the weather service's normals, sea temperature and hotel statistics: why December costs more than February or August though its hotels are emptier, how many nights foreign and Spanish guests stay, and why the south's quiet month is June.
• Which Canary Island: warmth, sun, sea, crowds and rent compared on official data
  The warmest winter day, the warmest night, the most sun, the fewest guests per resident and the lowest rent: each question has its own island and its own measurement.
