Our Hotel And The Beach
This was our first vacation together as a couple. Claudia and I chose Gran Canaria, which is part of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. After I finished my summer work, we spent one week on the sunny island and had a fantastic time there.
Our Hotel
We picked a small hotel, called Solymar, near the beach. It was fine, but definitely not the best hotel we have stayed so far, but it served its purpose. The hotel offered a pool and breakfast was served for an extra fee in a nearby restaurant. Since our room had a coffee machine, we prepared breakfast on our own.

The Beach
We spent most of the time at the beach, because we just wanted to relax and enjoy the sun and the sea. Our hotel was in Playa del Ingles, one of the biggest tourist spots in Gran Canaria, and just a few minutes away from the wonderful sandy beach.

In the evening we always went out for dinner and some drinks. One of our favorite restaurants was the
El Gaucho restaurant, a steakhouse. Back then we still ate meat. The restaurant was located on top of a small shopping center, which are very common at Playa del Ingles and had an open roof. The food was really good and we had a great time there. After dinner we usually did some shopping and spent the rest of the
evening in some bars on the promenade and enjoyed a glass of sangria or a
cocktail.
