Gran Canaria - Christmas 2025

Dawn breaks on another holiday to the beautiful San Augustin in Gran Canaria. Our hotel room on the eighth floor provides the perfect vantage point to see the sun rise and set.  

A delayed flight saw us arrive later than expected. Initial signs at the airport were not good. Masses of holiday makers struggling to get in to passport control. There was a freshness in the foreboding cloudy skies. This isn't quite what we had in mind for our sunshine escape. Eventually we clear the airport and arrive out our hotel. Reassuringly things looked pretty much the same since we were last there. After quickly putting our bags down we made for the restaurant, and a bite to eat. The food here is of the highest quality, with loads of choices to suit the most discerning of palates. San Augustin is a quiet resort , however there is plenty there if you know where to look. If that still isn't enough then nearby lively resorts Playa Del Ingles and Maspalomas are within walking distance.

  The sun has risen , a few beach and hotel photos.

The hotel has a real Christmas feel to it. As we approach Christmas Eve the hotel transforms for the Gala Dinner. The food is unbelievable, and a great night is had.

 
The company was excellent too! Great to catch up with these two characters (Jack and Craig) from Plymouth.
