Celebrations as Las Palmas return to the Spanish top division Celebrations as Las Palmas return to the Spanish top division

Gran Canaria erupted with joy last night as Las Palmas' football team won promotion to the Spanish Primera Liga for the first time since 2002. 

 

Union Deportiva Las Palmas beat Real Zaragoza 2-0 last night, turning over a 3-1 deficit from the first leg of the tie and triggering a wave of yellow celebrations across Las Palmas and Gran Canaria. 

It was success at the third attempt after disappointment in the 2013 playoffs and getting within two minutes of promotion in the 2014 playoff final. The victory triggered a huge celebration in Las Palmas last night as fans, all dressed in yellow, came out of the stadium and bars to celebrate promotion and the chance to watch Las Palmas play Spain's top teams next year. Fans all over Gran Canaria celebrated long into the night and you can expect a few empty desks at Gran Canaria offices today. There are even unconfirmed reports of celebrations in Tenerife ;-)

It's not just the fans who have something to celebrate; promotion is expected to bring millions of euros in extra revenue to the island thanks to  extra hotel bookings and away fan spend. 

Pio Pio!!

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
