Dunas Club

From February 1st to March 3rd 2013 Gran Canaria carries its visitors away into another world. The capital Las Palmas, as important Carnival center, daily invites you to enter an unforgettable spectacle under the motto “Masquerade” that is arranged around the Catalina Park from February 1st to 17th 2013.

The Epiphany Parade, called “Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos“, is the highlight of the Christmas season on Gran Canaria and, because of its long tradition in Spain, it is considered the real Christmas.

This summer the Dunas Group will complete the transformation process of the former Hotel La Canaria, situated in Patalavaca, which had been acquired from the company Steigenberger in 2004. The renovation was integral, that means it was from the skeletal structure to the frontage of the building, including the size of the rooms up to the last detail of the interior decoration. Within a short time a new luxury Aparthotel will be on the market.

The recommendation of the Dunas Club card allows you to get 150 extra bonus points, instead of 100, in the period from 1st of June until 15th of August 2012!

Every year around Christmas time a proper competition on the Canary Islands takes place to see who draws up the most beautiful Christmas crib. In all parts of the island, the birth of Jesus is shown in the form of magnificent and impressive cribs, which are admired not only by tourists but also by locals.

In 2011 the Dunas group celebrated its 25th business anniversary. The company was established in 1986 by Ángel Luis Tadeo, a native of a modest family on the Canary Islands, who grew up in the district San José in Las Palmas.
