Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria

Temperatures in the winter remain around 20-25 °C while there is an average of less than three days per month of precipitation.

[citation needed] The volcanic origin of Gran Canaria provides for the island's coastal ruggedness and contrasting verdant interior.

Many of the rocky ravines that lead down to the coastline on the southern side of the island have been developed with holiday installations similar to that of Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria.

Apartment complexes and hotels crowd the sides of the otherwise barren cliffs leading down to long, natural beaches.

One kilometer northwest of Puerto Rico lies the sister beach of Amadores, a popular tourist destination on the southern coast of Gran Canaria.
