Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Weather in November

November weather by the sea

November feels mild in Las Palmas, with highs around 22°C and nights near 20°C. You'll get about five rainy days, but showers usually leave plenty of time for a walk along Playa de Las Canteras or an afternoon in Vegueta's old streets.

The sea and beach still suit a relaxed swim, though cloud and passing rain can interrupt a beach day. Long hikes in the island's mountains are possible, but November weather can be less settled inland. Keep your plans flexible rather than counting on a full day of sunshine.

Events and city days

WOMAD has often brought world music, dance and food to Las Palmas in November, though the programme and dates can change. The city also marks All Saints' Day, when families visit cemeteries and some shops may close.

For families, the mild days make Las Canteras easier to enjoy than a summer visit, without relying on hours of intense heat.

Crowds and local tips

November is calmer than the Christmas period and summer school holidays, but it's the start of the winter-sun season. Visitor numbers and prices can rise compared with early autumn, so don't expect the city to feel empty.

At Las Canteras, walk from the surf-friendly end at La Cícer towards La Puntilla, where the beach is more sheltered by the reef known as La Barra. Check the tide before swimming: the water and usable sand can change along this stretch. For dinner nearby, La Puntilla is a good place to look for fresh fish.
