Playa Del Ingles
Most holidaymakers are attracted to Gran Canaria due to its vast stretches of pristine golden beaches. The island is a wonderful place to spend your days soaking up that beautiful Spanish sunshine - cocktail in hand - and watching the sunset over
the turquoise waters.
Camel ride through the Maspalomas Dunes, where you can see the island’s mesmerising desert landscape from a unique perspective. Adventure-seekers will love trekking to Roque Nublo, where you can admire breathtaking views over Caldera de Tejeda -
an ancient volcanic crater.
Culture vultures will be in awe during a visit to the historic town quarter of Vegueta, which dates back to the 15th century. Stroll through the narrow streets and experience a place where time has stood still, with many of the oldest houses still
keeping their ancient patios.
Once you’re back in the modern era, wind down in one of the island’s many bars and restaurants. Due to Gran Canaria’s popularity with tourists, you’ll find a vast array of eateries serving foods from across the globe.
Playa Taurito
