Sun, Sand And Shopping...
Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria lays just a band of ocean away from the Sahara desert, at the southern periphery of the Canary Islands, and is a base for constant sunshine. Holidays to Puerto Rico give you the chance to experience a party atmosphere that attracts revellers of all tastes for long hours in the nightspots around Centro Civico Comercial, one of no less than four entertainment and shopping malls in the town, and the largest of them all – the others being the Europa Centre, Agua de Perra and Pasarella. Here, take advantage of opening hours until 10pm during the day, in order to pick up a few bargains. Or, if it’s a Tuesday, truly hardcore hagglers can attend the biggest market in Gran Canaria at Arguineguin, a ten-minute taxi ride away from the centre. Commodious beaches, sea is safe enough to bathe in and an abundance of restaurants, bars and cafes remain major features of Puerto Rico holidays.Alternatively, soak up the sporting fervour on offer around the rest of the island: exploit Puerto Rico’s perfect climate for water sports at the aqua park, take a boat trip or sit back and be thrilled as a Jeep safari effortlessly takes you across the undulating and challenging territory around Mount Tejeda.Puerto Rico hotels generally all hug the cliffs that plunge above the resort’s two beaches. It is because of such steep stepped inclines leading up to the accommodation, however, that an alternative resort may be advised for those with mobility difficulties.
