Gran Canaria in November
Around 22 °C by day, sea 22.3 °C. Warm enough to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 3.
November on Gran Canaria is 22 °C by day, sea at 22.3 °C. You can swim, and this is the month the island splits in two. In the south, in Maspalomas and Mogán, the winter season starts: load is 4 out of 5 in Maspalomas and 4 in Mogán. In the north, in Las Palmas and Telde, it stays at 2 out of 5 — November there is like any other month.
The difference is not only in people. Mogán has 10 rainy days a year, Maspalomas 15, Las Palmas 35, Telde 25. The south is drier, the north greener, and this is one island an hour across. On the ministry's appraisal the square metre is €1,796 in Telde and €2,321 in Las Palmas. Maspalomas has only an asking price, €3,100, which cannot be compared directly with an appraisal. People looking to winter go south; people looking for a town that lives all year go north.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 25 rainy days a year, 68% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
