Looks like Nordic and European newspapers have been referring for months to Rally Islas Canarias and UD Las Palmas (La Liga) selling the destination GRAN CANARIA.

A full house is expected on the island during the week of the rally, just after "Holy Week"

"This is one of the most fun roads I've ever driven! It is so inviting to go fast here. It feels like a racetrack on public roads plus it has overtaking spots every hundred meters so you can easily pass the slow drivers. Combined with the amazing landscape this is a perfect road for driving enthusiasts. If you are visiting Gran Canaria for the rally or some other time, make sure to drive this road!"

NOTE that there are 2 errors in the video (thanks ‪@josemirallyms4468‬ for the hint):
1. at 0:15 the stage goes right and rejoins at the roundabout at 1:04
2. at 15:10 the stage goes right ignoring the one-way and rejoins from the right at 15:32

The longest stage of the rally. It starts in the village of Moya including a roundabout popular with spectators. The first half is the most well known stage of the rally, as it was used every year at least in the recent ERC editions. In the village Fontanales at 14:26 the route starts to differ. At 15:10 the stage turns right ignoring the one-way sign - therefore I drove around this small part until the stage comes back from the right at 15:32. At 17:44 this crest might be a jump due to the very fast approach.

I drove this stage in the morning at about the same time as the first run will happen during the rally. It was still damp in many places where the sun didn't yet have the chance to dry it up, so very changing grip levels. Overall this stage is very enjoyable to drive passing through changing vegetation and landscapes, but I had trouble remembering any particular sections. I guess this will be the deciding stage together with 1/4 on Friday.

I forgot to add the picture...

Raúl Hernández will compete in Gran Canaria with Skoda Fabia RS Rally 2

Last year he was in WRC3 events (Sweden, Croatia and Sardegna)

Was in Lanzarote at the weekend for the first round of the CCRA and he really impressed me and was running well up the order until he had to retire due to a double puncture.

Yes, he is a very talent and a young driver, and also is so spectacular.
Already in 2024 Raul Hernández competed in Rally Islas Canarias (ERC)

Perhaps Efrén Llarena could to be in Gran Canaria.

And what about your own plans to compete in the ERC this year, will you be back?

“Yeah, yeah, for sure. We will be in Sierra Morena and we are really looking to make Rally Islas Canarias in the WRC. For me we never did a WRC rally so it could be one really good option to make it. But we have really good memories there and we have really good speed in Canarias so we want to be there. It’s not closed but we want to do it. For Sierra Morena we will be with the Citroën C3 because Norbi Herczig will be driving our Toyota. For Canarias maybe we will be with the Toyota, but I don’t know yet because it’s not only on me, it depends on our customers. We take it step by step.”

**Buses onto the stages**: For greater comfort for fans and spectators and better access onto the stages, the organizers strongly recommend the use of buses.

This public service will bring spectators onto the stages in an easy way and comfort, forgetting about having to park the car in a precarious spot.

Tickets for this service will go on sale on 17th March.

With this initiative the organizers of the 49th Rally Islas Canarias - Rally de España want to bring fans onto the stages in a comfortable, safe and efficient way. We try to avoid the maximum inconvenience of having to find where to park vehicles on the roads and rally sections, as well as trying to avoid long walks of fans to arrive to the public areas on the Special Stages.
