Gran Canaria in March
Around 19 °C by day, sea 19.1 °C. Too cold to swim. As busy as the peak.
March on Gran Canaria is 19 °C by day, sea at 19.1 °C. This is the water's floor for the year: the Canarian year is almost flat, and under five degrees separate March from the September peak. Valencia's span is three times that — 14.1 °C in February against 26.9 °C in August.
March is when the winterers leave. Load in the south falls from four to three, which makes it the best time to see the island without crowds and without the Easter premium. What is worth seeing in March: what runs outside the winter season and what only opens for it. The gap between Maspalomas and Las Palmas is plainer than in January — a city lives the same all year, a resort does not. The south gets ten to fifteen rainy days a year, so the weather is unlikely to get in the way.
