Gran Canaria

It's holiday time and so to get some winter sun we have just spent 3 weeks in Gran Canaria at the same hotel we stayed at last year.


Our apartment has a great view over Puerto Rico...


...and has a large south facing terrace.




You just can't get too much of views like this!


The hotel has a couple of swimming pools...


...which look picturesque at any time.


During our stay the sea was very calm...


...however, the harbour walls are being reinforced. I don't think the crane driver has made a very good job of stacking the blocks!


Whatever time of year, there are always flowers in bloom...



...and the bougainvillea is as colourful as ever.


Yes, that is a large coffee pot in the garden.


Each night in the hotel there was a different theme for the food. Above, the chef is stuffing his enchiladas on Mexican night...


...while on Canarian night, local cheeses are served on cheese boards made in the shape of the islands.

Yes, we would go back again!
