Gran Canaria is an Island that belongs to an European country: Spain.
The seven Islands are called: The Canary Islands.
I was born in this Island so I can inform you accuratelly.
The quality of life here is considerably good. It has been officially reported that we're on one of the only spots in world with very good and balanced weather (never extremely cold never extremely hot) throughout the 12 months of the year.
There are good beaches, Museums, nice Montain-views for long walks (where has even snowed in Winter), Aquatic Parks, Night life and many other options for leisure.
Most services and shopping are considered quite affordable in comparison with many other spots in Europe.
People in general tend to be welcoming and friendly.
