In 2025, Gran Canaria ranked 20th among destinations abroad from the main German airports: 975,099 passengers flew to Las Palmas-Gran Canaria (LPA), 54.6% of them in the months November to March. The airport lies on the east coast, around 25 km from the holiday region in the south; regular buses take 40 minutes to the Faro de Maspalomas. In January the average daily maximum at the airport is 20.8 °C. Since 2005, 43% of the land area has belonged to a UNESCO biosphere reserve, and since 2019 the cultural landscape of Risco Caído has been on the World Heritage List.
