Is prostitution legal in Gran Canaria?

To answer this question, we currently have to look at Spain’s laws on the matter. Per Wikipedia, Prostitution in Spain is not addressed by any specific law, but a number of activities related to it, such as pimping, are illegal. The sex industry in Spain is estimated to be worth €3.7 billion.

The only article in the Code dealing specifically with adult prostitution is Artícle 188, which bans pimping:

Whoever causes a person of legal age to engage in prostitution or to continue to do so, with the use of violence, intimidation or deception, or by abusing a position of power or the dependency or vulnerability of the victim, shall be punished with a prison sentence of two to four years and a fine from 12 to 24 months. Gaining profit from the prostitution of another shall incur the same penalty, even with the consent of that person.

Owning an establishment where prostitution takes place is in itself legal, but the owner cannot derive financial gain from the prostitute or hire a person to sell sex because prostitution is not considered a job and thus has no legal recognition.

Prostitution in Spain is less regulated than in many European countries.
