Driving in Gran Canaria, the second most visited Canary Island after Tenerife is generally easy and offers a convenient way to explore the island.

Driving in Tenerife can be a scary thought for some people, especially if you are a visitor from the UK, used to drive on the other side of the road.

Lanzarote is a small island compared to Tenerife or even Fuerteventura, which is located in the close vicinity and is the second largest island in the Canaries. Given its relatively small size and flat surface, Lanzarote is the ideal place to drive for visitors who rent a car abroad for the first time.

Driving in Fuerteventura is usually easy and stress-free and as long as you follow the rules and you stick to the right side of the road, you should be perfectly fine.

Hiring a car while on holiday in Fuerteventura is a very popular option for many tourists, as you can explore the island at your own pace, stopping along the coast and exploring various beaches, as well as visiting the inland and beautiful places like Betancuria.

Cabildo de Tenerife has announced the launch of tourist passes to encourage visitors to use the public transport network on the island. The insular counselor for Mobility highlights that this initiative is a tourist attraction that will allow visitors to move around the entire island at a fixed price, which will be more attractive than buying individual tickets.

The official page for Tourism in Gran Canaria (Gran Canaria Turismo) has published a list of flights to the island in the upcoming month, after the movement restrictions will be lifted and Spain will start to allow once again foreign visitors to come over on holiday.

The airline Binter Canarias has announced the flight schedule for the connection between the Canary Islands and the cities of Boston (USA) and Toronto (Canada). These flights will be operated in code-share with the Portuguese company SATA.
