Maspalomas, Gran Canaria - A Place in the Sun

Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Laura Hamilton

Laura Hamilton is flying to Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands to help B&B owners Andy and Julian find their dream property. They hope the island will become their home from home and enjoy the year round sunshine, beaches and of course, the famous nightlife! They have a budget of £125,000 and Laura has 5 great properties to show them–but will they love any enough to put in an offer?

Visitors are drawn to its buzzing atmosphere with lots of great restaurants, bars and nightclubs as well as it’s stunning nature reserve, one hundred acres of coastal sand dunes and beaches.
