How to use this table

Monthly rainfall is the NASA daily climatological average multiplied by the number of days in the month. It is a broad model estimate, not a promise of rain or sunshine on specific dates. Sea temperature, wind and mountain weather are separate questions.

Combine a beach around Maspalomas with the dunes, or reserve a separate day for Las Canteras and Vegueta.
