To and from Gran Canaria airport

Gran Canaria airport is about 18 kilomteres outside the city Las Palmas and 25 kilometres from the south where most of the tourists travel. There was 10 million people travelling to or from Gran Canaria airport 2012.


I do recommend to make a booking with a shuttleservice. It is very conveniet, you will be picked up at the airport and taken to your preferd drop-off point and you dont have to negotiate the price. There are some companys that offer this service, for exampel Hoppa.
