A beautiful house in the mountains of Gran Canaria, an ice-cold pool, and a lesson we lerned. A reflection on holidays and real life.

A story from our first visit to Puerto de Mogán — colourful streets, clear water full of fish, ice cream at sunset, and a quiet evening back in our apartment. A simple day that felt special.

We spent a week on Gran Canaria and wanted to see more than just the beach. Here are six places that we visited with our girls and two dogs, and why they were worth it for our family.

Our first day in Gran Canaria felt like a reset. Warm air, blue sky, palm trees, and a terrace with a view we will not forget. A story from the start of our week away.
