Happy Canary Islands Day! Live the "Canarian Life" with MUR Hotels. | MUR Hotels

In the "Fortunate Islands," we don’t just celebrate our history; we celebrate a way of life. In Gran Canaria, May 30th is a reminder of how lucky we are to be surrounded by the Atlantic. Want to know why life is so good here?

The Secret of Canarian Well-being
Living in Gran Canaria is synonymous with quality of life. Here is why our guests always want to stay just a little longer:
• Lifegiving Light: With over 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, spirits stay high. Long days allow us to make the most of every moment until the very last ray of light.
• Your Own Sanctuary: Independence is key. At our chain, we offer apartments (MUR Apartamentos Buenos Aires, Viviendas Vacacionales ART Las Palmas) and bungalows (MUR Bungalows Parque Romántico) designed to make you feel at home. Having your own kitchen, terrace, and private space gives you the freedom to set your own pace, without hotel schedules.
• An Outdoor Gym: Whether surfing at La Cícer in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, hiking through Canarian pine forests, cycling through the mountain peaks, or simply strolling along the beach, sports here are enjoyed under a clear blue sky.

A Taste of the Islands: 3 Must-Try Dishes
You can’t say you know Gran Canaria until you’ve tasted its cuisine. These are our three essentials:
1. Papas arrugadas con mojo: The ultimate classic. Local potatoes boiled in sea salt, served with mojo picón (red) or coriander mojo (green).
2. Ropa Vieja Canaria: A comforting stew made with chickpeas, shredded meat, potatoes, and a flavorful sauté.
3. Queso de Flor de Guía: A gastronomic treasure of the island with Protected Designation of Origin, curdled using the flower of the thistle. A true delicacy!

3 Magical Spots to Discover
If you stay with us and want to explore beyond the sun lounger, you’ll fall in love with these three places:
• Roque Nublo: The island's guardian. A hike to this volcanic monolith offers the best views of our "miniature continent."
• Puerto de Mogán: Known as "Little Venice," this fishing village is filled with bougainvillea, canals, and a relaxed atmosphere—perfect for sunset.
• Maspalomas Dunes: A desert landscape by the sea that makes you feel like you're in another world. The perfect place to disconnect.
