We have an apartment on La Isleta and are booked to come on October 5th 2020 from the UK.
I've been reading with trepidation about the coronavirus outbreaks in Las Palmas.
Has anyone had any first hand experience ?
Is it safe on La Isleta.
Are the restaurants and bars open ?
Anything I should be aware of if I travel ?
Thanks,Michael
Hi michael
I live in Puerto de mogan to be honest I'm not sure where la isleta is here in mogan there are restaurants open but only about 10% are open restaurant owners are finding it difficult the odd one or two seem to do better than others the beaches are open and there is social distancing in place it is mandatory to wear masks when walking in public areas on transport and taxis churches etc Las palmas appears to be the hotspot for attracting the younger generation and where the virus is lingering to be honest it's probably no different from the uk with people flouting the rules but hey they know best gran canaria is as safe as any other place if you follow the rules so to recap bars restaurants clubs are open but only a small percentage I'm sure you'll find something that will fill your day
Good luck
Bill

Good morning Bill,
Thanks for the information.
La Isleta is in the north, in Las Palmas itself close to Las Canteras playa.
It seems to be where the coronavirus outbreak in Gran Canaria is concentrated, there are a lot fewer cases in the south.
We are not due to fly until October 5th so hopefully the authorities will be on top of it by then.
Cheers,Michael
