Ramadan 2025 in the south of Gran Canaria is set to begin on Saturday, March 1 and end on Sunday, March 30. Coalición Canaria and AV-PP have planned to join one day during that period in activities such as breaking the fast in an act of support for coexistence.
During this period, the Muslim community in the south of Gran Canaria, especially in areas such as Playa del Inglés and Vecindario (Santa Lucía de Tirajana), will participate in religious and cultural activities specific to Ramadan. In previous years, significant community events have been organised; for example, in 2023, some two thousand people gathered at the Maspalomas Municipal Sports Pavilion to celebrate the end of Ramadan.
For more detailed information on prayer times and specific events during Ramadan in the south of Gran Canaria, it is recommended to contact local Islamic communities or consult official sources close to the start date.
In Islam, fasting during Ramadan is obligatory for adult Muslims, but there are exceptions. Among them, travelers (musafir) are temporarily exempt from fasting and can make it up later.
If a Muslim tourist in Maspalomas is considered to be travelling according to Islamic rules (usually if he is more than 80-90 km from his usual residence), he can choose not to fast and make up for it later. However, some Muslims choose to fast even when they are travelling, especially if fasting does not cause them hardship. A Muslim from Las Palmas working in Mogán can get away with fasting if he wants to given the distance.
In any case, it is a personal choice based on your comfort level and religious commitment.
