Nightlife in Gran Canaria is fun, energetic and varied! It starts late and goes on throughout the night with most bars and restaurants staying open until past midnight, and the discos and clubs even later (or should we say "earlier"?!). All tastes are catered for... and you can have as wild, or as quiet, a night as you fancy. Hardly a month goes by without a fiesta, carnival or special event... and these tend to be colourful, boisterous affairs, and lots of fun! The Spanish love to dress up - and will grab any excuse to do so, as well as keeping you as a traveller very much involved.

There over 200 shops in the Yumbo Centrum, so put your sensible footwear on, and make a day (and night) of it. You'll be spoilt for choice with the vast range of eating places, and the aromas alone will tempt you in.
