Canary Islands From Above - Isla de Gran Canaria

Land Of Music, People & Beauty

This was my second trip to the Canary Islands, and I coud'nt wait to get there. The previous time I was in the Canaries I was in Tenerife when I was 19yrs old, now several years later i was on my way back to those Beautiful Islands.

The resort of Playa De Ingles has so much to offer from shops to bars, and clubs to great beaches, all surrounded by fantastic people.
