This year from the 2nd to the 5th of October our Swimwear Fashion Week, Gran Canaria Swim Week, will take place: a week that represents us, that represents our singularities, our customs, our culture and our landscape. A Swim Fashion Week that will once again be attended by important celebrities such as the international top stars Stella Maxwell and Valentina Ferrer; and with 40 swimwear brands, more than half of which will be from the Canary Islands”.
