After three consecutive seasons being headquarters of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC), thisyear, 2013,the 37thedition ofRallyIslasCanarias “El CorteInglés” takes a step further andbecomes partof thevery selectclub of qualifying rounds for the European Rally Championship (ERC). Once more, our position inthe calendarallows usthe honor of openingthe calendar of the SpanishChampionship, as well as theregionalandprovincial ones.
The effort made bytheOrganizing Committeeto achieve aplace inwhichis already the secondinternationalrallychampionship more important of the world,has been huge. Perhaps the greatest in its history. But I'm surethatwhen the podium ceremony finishes on Saturday March 23 evening, all the canarians willfeelproud to haverepresented Spain ina competition like theERC. AndI am convinced thatthe collective of racing fans will be even larger, because we are going to see extraordinary pilots.
Forthis endeavor and the results it has produced, I would like to thankall those who are partof the Organizing Committeeand especiallythe figure ofits promoterLuisMonzón. Together we haveachievedgoalsthat seemed impossible,andthe next challengeis already here: making that theRallyIslas Canarias “El CorteInglés”becomes aniconicand essentialtestofthis championship, which in this 2013 revives thanks to thecommitment of theFIAandtheERC.
I do not wantto endmyacknowledgmentswithout stoppinginCarlosGracia’s figure, the firstsupporter of thisrallywhen webecame part of theIRCand now first responsibleofour incorporation in theEuropean RallyChampionship. He did it in his role asvice president of theInternational AutomobileFederation; now,back in frontof theSpanish one, I know that asresponsible for the RallyIslas Canarias “El CorteInglés”we owethe test to bean example anda reflection of whata rallyof theERC must be. Withthis determinationwe have workedthese months.
Of coursethanks to all oursponsors, both public and private, because ina situation like the present, without themit would beimpossible to get ahead with an event of these features. Andgood luck to all the participating teams.Some of them already knowthe Canary Islands of its stage in the IRC and, believe me, they are the best tourist ambassadors we can have, because they are lovers of our islands, their landscapesand theirsections.

21.Information about Gran Canaria
Climate in Gran Canaria
The Gran Canaria’s Climate is characterized by an average annual temperature between 18 and 25ºC, with an estimated annual rate of 2.700 hours of sunlight, and a fresh and humid wind, coming from the Azores´ Anticyclone, the trade winds.
Due to the unusual relief of the island there can be found a great variety of microclimates. On the southern slopes of the island, in coastal areas, the climate is dry and sunny almost all year round. In areas of higher altitude, the influence of the sea is reduced and the clouds are detained by the mountains; that produces great variations of temperature from the temperature of Midlands or valleys and subtropical forests to the highest areas, where the temperature can reach 0ºC. This allows people to enjoy completely contrasted climates in two different areas of the island.
