It is worth pointing out that if you decide on the last option, it is more difficult to find cheap places to sleep as it brings together the most touristic area of Gran Canaria. Even so, there are many apartment complexes and bungalows where you can stay at a reasonable price. In Las Palmas, the amount of hostels and Airbnb increases considerably so it is easier to find an economical bed to stay in, even close to the most touristy places such as the beach at Las Canteras or the historical centre of Vegueta.
The truth is that the island is too big to only raise these two areas as a place of residence on the days you are in Gran Canaria. Due to the characteristics of Gran Canaria and its insular character, it does not matter where you stay because you will find a beach nearby or a beautiful place to visit.
