I work in the UK but I'm from Gran Canaria, Spain. I go back every now and then to meet friends who live close to my old neighbourhood, and family. It's a cool island, with a busy city and small villages as well as the well-known beach resorts.

The tourism industry has brought about a construction boom, leading to many seaside shopping centers being built... and then left sort of abandoned.

Other places look better, like this open area next to the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium and the Las Palmas Philharmonic.

Because of work, my trips are frequent but short, so I spend a good chunk of my breaks at airports (Madrid Barajas). Here's a Ferrari at Gatwick airport.

And here's a panorama of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
