The El Canal del Fijo is a small town in the municipality of Granada. The main attraction for visitors to this area is the ancient Roman road that runs through the centre of the town, which links up the various districts of the city. Although it is not an official road, it is a major tourist attraction, especially for those interested in ancient history and architecture. Many tourists visit the town each year, many of them arriving by car or coach from Spain and travelling over the Spanish countryside to reach El Canal. The town is well connected by train and bus services, as well as by taxi and air travel.
The El Canal region has a great selection of hotels and restaurants, as well as plenty of shopping opportunities, and is considered to be one of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain. One of the attractions of El Canal is the free Wi-Fi internet access available in all shops and cafes, which makes visiting this part of Granada much more accessible than other towns in the area. Downloading applications for mobiles such as the iPhone is relatively easy in the central area of the town, although services are usually fairly slow. The main problem with accessing the internet is that the signal is sometimes weak, and users need to leave a reasonable amount of time between their surfing or downloading to get the most out of the service. In practice, most people don't have a problem with this issue, but if you are coming from an area where mobile communication is particularly slow, or if you use a smartphone that has very poor battery life, then it can be frustrating to use a computer while on the move.
Fortunately, there is a simple solution to the problems that people are having when using mobile devices to access the internet. El Canal is lucky to have access to a free software programme that allows internet access in just a few seconds, so that they can quickly download apps and view news, information and websites without any issues. To use this application, you simply download it onto your phone and it runs on your computer like any other app. You can even use it on a tablet such as the Amazon Kindle Fire to read e-books or other text documents whilst you are watching TV.
