Question

Have you been in any of this places in summer? Is the ocean colder than the seas? Isn't it too cold for a 7 year old kid? How is the wetaher like in summer? Windy? Sunny? Cooler, than in the Mediterranean e.g.?

Thank you for all the answers!

Answer 1

The water is colder than the Mediterranean water, but it is not so cold. There is a really great temperature in both islands, may be its more hot in Gran Canaria. The beaches are good in both islands, Tenerife has got stones beaches or black sand beaches, Gran Canaria has got white sand beaches, you can choose. I've been in both places and they are really beautiful. I prefer Gran Canaria, cause it is more cosmopolitan, the beaches are better and there is a big contrast between the beach and the country side (lots of forests and beautiful villages), so it has more things to see. It's got good shops and lots of SUPER places in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Tenerife is good too, but the cities there are smaller and the beaches aren't really good. There is a good weather in both places. There are lot of good places to go with 7 year old kids. In Tenerife you can go to Loro Parque and the Teide.

In Gran Canaria u can go to Sioux city, Aqualand, Holiday world and other places.

Have fun!!!
