According to local news reports, the latest draft of the Canary Islands holiday rental law makes it much easier for owners to rent out their Gran Canaria property short-term.

It states that owners can rent to tourists, provided that they declare their intention to rent and that their property is legal and has its habitability certificate, without needing the express permission of the building's community association (communidad).

However, these conditions don't apply in areas designated as tourist resorts (suelo turístico). In a nutshell, if we understand this right, it means that properties in buildings and complexes outside tourist areas can be rented to tourists, but properties in buildings and complexes inside tourist areas can't be. 

Also, communidades will still be able to ban holiday lets if enough of the members vote to rewrite their statutes to include a ban.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
