The Canary islands are probably the best known island group among tourists who love summer holidays, and it's a popular spot for those who love to spend a good time in the hot seasons. Of all the islands you can visit there, Gran Canaria is the largest and best-known one, so if you want to guarantee yourself a fun and exciting holiday, head directly there.

Let's kick things off in an interesting way, have you ever sunbathed nude? If not but it sounds like a fun thing to you, try the Playa de Maspalomas, which gathers nudists year round. Take a day on the beach in an all-natural way free of any inhibitions. It may sound like a crazy idea now, but once you give it a bit of thought you may actually find yourself willing to give it a go.

For a great view over the island, go up to the Caldera de Bandama, which will open up a marvelous sight over the whole island to you. Also, there's a crater there, spanning 1 km in its diameter, and it's quite the impressive sight to behold.

And if you want to have some fun in a more modern way, there's nothing like riding a quad bike down some rocky trails, it's a 4-hour trip which will take you through places you wouldn't dare head to on foot, and the sights you'll get to enjoy from your bike are ones you'll not see anywhere else.

The machines you'll be using are very good as well, constantly in maintenance and in good condition. The price is good and considering the long distance you'll cover, it's well worth its money and an experience you won't forget soon especially if you love extreme sports in general. This is a fantastic activity for more active people who want to enjoy the outdoors.

Gran Canaria gets good weather nearly all year round with winter temperatures reaching a nice balmy 20c and the summer temperatures ranging from 26c to 30c. Weather wise the best time to visit Gran Canaria is in June, July, August and September where the rainfall is at its lowest and daylight hours and temperature are at there best.

The island is well noted for its varying climates and landscapes and is sometimes referred to as a miniature continent and for good reason. With long white sandy beaches, rocky mountains and vast sand dunes contrasting with lush green valleys and beautiful picturesque towns and villages you might be forgiven for thinking you very on a different continent as you travel around this wonderful island.
