The occupancy in the province of Las Palmas of this type of tourism already exceeds 60% for August

 

Reservations for rural accommodation in Spain approach and even exceed 75% occupancy in some autonomous communities and provinces in the month of August, mainly in the period between the 11th and the 20th, according to data provided by the specialized portal EscapadaRural. Among them is the province of Las Palmas, specifically Gran Canaria.

 

Data that is not surprising because of the island's ability to offer a tourist service that goes beyond sun and beach, but because precisely in the summer season what is most in demand in the archipelago is tourism close to the coast and away from the midlands where in recent weeks up to 40 degrees of temperature have been recorded.

 

Popular festivals at this time of year, mountain activities, tranquility and getting away from the crowds that can occur at this time of year on beaches and swimming pools is the main motivation for tourists who opt for this type of tourism in the middle of summer. in Gran Canaria.

 

In this way, the Canary Islands are placed with leading communities in this regard such as Asturias, Murcia, Navarra, Cantabria, the Balearic Islands and Catalonia, where it is expected to exceed 60% occupancy during the month of August.
