The airport handles over 10.3 million passengers annually, making it the busiest in the Canary Islands and 5th in Spain. That's a lot of traffic for a city that can feel like a perpetual summer holiday. While the weather is indeed idyllic, with average temperatures of 22°C, the bureaucracy is a persistent headache - just ask anyone who's tried to navigate the paperwork for residency. And with a bombing incident at the airport in 1977, security is an ongoing concern. Overall, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is best suited for those seeking an escape from the cold, with a high tolerance for red tape and a willingness to accept the occasional bump in the road.
