What Clothes to Bring for October/November/December in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Planning a trip to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria at the end of the year? Here’s a guide to help you pack the right clothes for your stay.
Weather Considerations
November and December in Las Palmas typically mark a transition towards cooler weather compared to October. Temperatures often become more stable but cooler, with daytime highs ranging usually from around 20°C to 25°C. Mornings and evenings tend to be noticeably cooler than in October, so it’s advisable to bring layers for comfort.
Many times I have seen people walking on the paseo in wintercoats and winterhats and right next to them people in shorts and tanktops, wearing flipflops… Which one are you?
Essential Clothing Items
- Layering is Key: Bring a mix of short and long sleeves. Thin long sleeves, a light jacket, and a scarf will be useful for windy conditions, especially in areas like Las Canteras.
- Footwear: Comfortable walking shoes are a must. Sneaker or other closed shoes can be great for evenings, while sandals or flipflops are perfect for warmer afternoons.
- Versatile Outfits: Consider packing items that can be layered. For example, a spring dress with a jacket and light scarf can be paired with closed shoes in the morning, and you can take off the jacket and scarf and put on sandals when it gets hot later in the day.
- Rain Preparedness: Be prepared for occasional rain.
Evening Wear
Evenings can be cooler, so pack a few items with long sleeves. You might not need very warm clothes like winter coats, but having some options for layering will keep you comfortable.
Shopping Options
If you find yourself needing more clothes, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has plenty of shops and second-hand stores where you can buy additional items.
Final Tips
- Adapt to the Weather: Since the weather can be unpredictable, it’s best to bring a bit of everything. Avoid very warm clothes, but ensure you have enough layers for chilly, windy nights.
- Personal Comfort: Your packing should also depend on how easily you get cold and your personal habits.
By packing smartly and being prepared for varying weather conditions, you’ll be ready to enjoy your trip to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in mid-October!
