Things to do in Gran Canaria in June

June kicks off the summer. It’s the month when children finish their classes and many adults begin their summer holidays. Gran Canaria in June is an amalgam of celebrations and plans to enjoy one of the best times of the year.

 Visiting the island during the month of June means enjoying its patron saint festivities, such as the night of San Juan, Corpus Christi, which fills the streets of the city with colour, or the Tajinaste flowering festival.

 In today's post, we offer you the best plans to enjoy Gran Canaria during the month of June.

5 things to do in Gran Canaria in June

Gran Canaria is an island to enjoy 365 days a year thanks to its mild climate that invites you to enjoy life and the different plans that the island has to offer.

 However, of all the months of the year, June is the beginning of one of the most festive times of the year on the island.

 For this reason, we’d like to offer you the 5 best things to do in Gran Canaria in June.

 1. Fiesta de San Juan

The summer solstice arrives strong at Gran Canaria. The night of San Juan is the most magical night of the year, where thousands and thousands of people congregate on the beaches with bonfires. During this fiesta, dances under the night sky and fireworks are spread all over the island.

2. Corpus Christi flower carpets

One of the main attractions of Gran Canaria in June is Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi Thursday is celebrated throughout the Canary Islands in a very special way: the streets and squares are filled with handmade carpets of flowers, sand is painted, and the asphalt is transformed into a real work of art in the open air.

3. Maspalomas International Carnival

One of the biggest spectacles in all of Spain is undoubtedly the International Carnival of Maspalomas. This celebration is brimming with joy, in which thousands and thousands of people gather in costume to party in the streets of the south of the island.

In this year 2022, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the celebration has been moved to the 9th to the 19th of June. Don’t miss out and have fun with the Queen's Gala, the Drag Gala or the Parade on the beach of the island where there’s good weather all year round.

 4. Flowering of the Blue Tajinaste

The flowering of the blue Tajinaste is one of the greatest natural spectacles in June in Gran Canaria. The beauty of these flowers fill the island's landscape with colour.

 The Tajinaste is an endemic plant, with which the people of Gran Canaria feel very identified. They can reach up to 3 metres in height and flood the paths that run along the Caldera de los Marteles to Tenteniguada, in the municipality of Valsequillo.

 4. Enjoy our activities

If you want to enjoy your free time, in our hotels we offer all kinds of activities for the whole family. In our family hotels you’ll find different spaces dedicated to the youngest members of the family and activities for the not so young. From the crafts the little ones enjoy so much, to group games where they’ll share unique moments with their new friends, to enjoying the company of our mascots Duni & Dunita, the children's programme at Dunas Hotels & Resorts is designed to offer a complete proposal for your children.

 In the hotels for adults, we have a reserved space where you’ll find weekly activities spread throughout the day, in the morning, afternoon and evening.
