Getting from LPA

Global bus Line 60 to Las Palmas costs €2.95 and takes 25–30 minutes. Line 66 serves Maspalomas and the southern resort strip (€4.35, 40–50 min). Buses stop at the terminal forecourt.

Taxis to Las Palmas center: €25–35. To Maspalomas: €30–40. To Puerto Rico or Mogán: €40–55. All major rental car companies operate from LPA with desks in arrivals. The GC-1 motorway provides fast access in both directions.

Gran Canaria Island Climate

Warm subtropical climate, similar to TFS but with more moisture due to the island's eastern exposure. Gran Canaria is nicknamed the "Continent in Miniature." The north is wetter and cooler; the south is sunnier and drier. The airport sits on the east coast. Temperatures year-round are 18–27°C with modest seasonal variation.

The main disruption risk is the Calima, a hot dusty wind from the Sahara that reduces visibility. It occurs primarily in late January–February and July–August. The airport handles this well, but diversions to Tenerife North occasionally happen during severe events.
