Gran Canaria

We took a ferry from Tenerife to Gran Canaria.

We stayed at Playa del Ingles. Yep. It was everything you imagine.

We visited the dunes (Maspalomas) as the sun was setting. 

They were pretty surreal and spectacular, despite getting sandblasted in the wind.

Puerto de Mogan ('Little Venice')

Tenerife

As mainland Spain got colder, we took advantage of the Canary Islands warm winter.

Opera house in Santa Cruz.

View from our balcony.

Not as big as the ones in Leon.

From Santa Cruz, we hopped on the bus to nearby San Cristobal de la Laguna. 

 Narrow cobbled streets and colourful colonial buildings are examples of the influence Europe had on American cultures such as Havana.
