Authorities in Tenerife and the British Embassy launched a desperate bid to try and find the Welshman.
They have now renewed their appeal for information and shared a new picture of the missing Brit.
Chief Inspector Wes Williams, North Wales Police, said: 'Officers are following several lines of investigation.
'We are appealing for information from anyone who knows Gerallt, or who may have been contacted by him, to contact us as soon as possible.
'We're keen to hear from anybody who believes they may have any information that could help our ongoing investigation.
"Even the smallest lead could prove vital for Gerallt himself to make contact to let us, or his family, know that he is safe and well.'
Cops also shared an image of the Llandudno man as they appealed for information to help with their search.
He is described as being 5ft 8in with short, black hair.
Gerallt was last seen wearing a navy-blue tracksuit and black trainers.
Anyone with information is being urged to get in touch with North Wales Police, citing reference number 51398.
It comes as the inquest into the death of Jay Slater, who vanished in Tenerife before being found at the bottom of a ravine last July, continued on Thursday.
Apprentice bricklayer Jay flew to the Spanish island last June to attend the NRG music festival in Playa de las Americas with two friends.
Meanwhile, a Brit tourist died while swimming during a boat trip around the Greek islands.
The man, 75, was dragged from the sea off the holiday hotspot of Kefalonia during the tourist trip.
He jumped into the water when the vessel stopped off Ammoudi Beach and fell unconscious before other passengers pulled him into the boat.
The holidaymaker was given first aid on the vessel before he was pronounced dead in hospital.
The circumstances of his death are being investigated by Greek authorities.
A Foreign Office spokesperson told The Sun: 'We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Greece and are in contact with the local authorities.'
It comes just days after a pensioner was found dead on a sun lounger in nearby Crete.
