Puerto Rico Holidays

Set on Gran Canaria's southwest coast, Puerto Rico is known for its golden sands, wealth of restaurants and animated nightlife. Holidays in Puerto Rico are spent basking on the man-made beach, strolling in the subtropical gardens, and enjoying the water sports at the marina, including parasailing, fishing, jet skiing and windsurfing. Fun family days out can be had at the water park.

Keen shoppers can browse the large shopping malls, duty-free outlets, chic boutiques and shop for local handicrafts and souvenirs at the market stalls. Holidays in Puerto Rico include excursions to the island's capital, Las Palmas. Here visitors can explore the 15th-century architecture, visit the House of Columbus, (La Casa de Colon), the Canarian Museum, which documents the life of the island's original inhabitants, and the Pueblo Canario, which represents traditional Canarian architecture and is set in the picturesque gardens of Doramas Park.

Holidays in Puerto Rico offer a range of lively bars and restaurants. Visitors can choose from traditional Spanish tapas to British favourites. Energetic evenings can be spent drinking and dancing to the early hours in the wide choice of pubs, clubs and karaoke bars. Another favourite town for nightlife is Playa del Ingles, 15.5 miles, (25 kilometres) away.
