Las Canteras Beach
Las Canteras beach is located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. This beach is considered the best urban beach on the island since, although it is in the capital of the island and surrounded by buildings, it has a large seabed, golden sand and a promenade surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. On this beach it is easy to see fishermen, surfers and walkers. In addition, on Las Canteras beach, a long rock formation, known as "La Barra", protects a part of the beach from strong tides, making it a good place to swim when the tide is high and see how The bottom peeks out at low tide. Quite a show! If you travel at Christmas, you will be lucky enough to be able to contemplate the sand nativity scene that different artists make every year. An authentic ephemeral work of art...
Maspalomas Dunes
The dunes of Maspalomas are located in the south of the island of Gran Canaria, in the Canary archipelago, in Spain. This small desert has the peculiarity of being located by the sea, in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, it has been declared a Natural Reserve and therefore protected since 1994. These dunes originated hundreds of years ago and have a unique habitat in Gran Canaria where a large number of birds and the giant lizard live, endemic species of African fauna. The dunes of Maspalomas are one of the main attractions of the island and a must-see on your trip to Gran Canaria where you can go up and down them and watch how the wind moves the sand, drawing waves on the dunes.
Playa del Ingles, Gran Canaria
Playa del Inglés is located in the south of Gran Canaria, Spain. This golden sand beach is located to the east of the dunes of Maspalomas and extends from Punta de Maspalomas to San Agustín beach. In its 3 km long you will find quieter areas to enjoy with your family and other areas where the wind makes it possible to practice water sports such as surfing. This beach has beach bars, shops and a wide range of hotels as it is one of the most touristic areas due to its warm climate throughout the year.
El Bufadero de La Garita
The Bufadero de La Garita is located in the municipality of Telde, in Gran Canaria. A bufadero is a geological formation typical of the coasts of volcanic origin, so it is easy to find them in the Canary Islands. Even so, El Bufadero de la Garita is considered by many to be the most spectacular in the archipelago. This underwater cave is filled with waves that, thanks to the compressed air in its cavity, cause this water to come out through the hole in the ceiling as if it were a geyser, reaching a great height.
Maspalomas Lighthouse
The Maspalomas lighthouse is located in the extreme south of Gran Canaria, in Maspalomas, an area belonging to the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tijarana. The lighthouse was inaugurated on February 1, 1890 and is the work of engineer Juan León y Castillo. It stands nearly 55 meters tall and has a range of 19 nautical miles (35 kilometers). Formerly, before the automation of the lighthouses, the operators stayed in the building attached to the lighthouse, a construction that recreates the typical Canarian house, currently a museum and exhibition center. To get to the Maspalomas lighthouse you have to do it from Meloneras and if you do it at sunset you can see one of the most beautiful sunsets in Gran Canaria.
Barranco de las Vacas
El Barranco de las Vacas is a geological canyon located in the municipality of Agüimes, on the island of Gran Canaria, Spain. This beautiful canyon was formed thousands of years ago creating one of the most spectacular places in the Canary Islands. Its rock formations called Tobas de Colores, make it a magical place that attracts travelers from all over the world and one of the most photographed in Gran Canaria. Its access on foot is easy, not only because it does not have a large area but also because visiting it does not require a great physical shape, in fact, it can be visited with children and adults. Of course, parking is complicated, so it is better to go at less crowded hours, better if it is early and during the week.
Salinas de Tenefe
The Salinas de Tenefé are located on the seafront, in the municipality of Santa Lucía de Tirajana, in the southwest of the island of Gran Canaria (Spain). Las Salinas de Tenefé have 20,000 m² and have been declared a Site of Cultural Interest since 2005. They were built at the end of the 18th century to sell salt to fishing boats and supply the island's consumption. In its beginnings, the Salinas Tenefé were known as "Las Salinas de los Tres Molinos" since they had three windmills whose function was to pump water to the upper area of the industry. Currently, these salt flats continue to extract organic sea salt that you can find in their own store, but without a doubt, what most attracts the attention of the Salinas de Tenefé is its pink color and its beautiful views at sunset.
Anfi del Mar Beach
Anfi del Mar beach is located near Arguineguín, in the south of the island of Gran Canaria, halfway between Maspalomas and Mogán. Its white sand and calm turquoise waters make it one of the favorite beaches for swimming and enjoying the sun and the sea, especially if you are traveling with children.

This beach is one of the favorites of travelers and residents of the Canary Islands who are looking for a place to rest, sunbathe and swim in calm waters.

Its golden sand, its beautiful calm waters and its hotel and leisure offer make Amadores beach a perfect tourist spot for family travel.
Puerto de Mogan
Puerto de Mogán is located in the south of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) and is one of the island's tourist attractions. Its charming pier, its beach of golden sand and calm water and its beautiful promenade full of bars, restaurants and terraces, make Puerto Mogán a lively place and an ideal beach to go with the family or eat a good fresh local fish. Strolling through its streets and enjoying its fishing atmosphere is a wonder that you cannot miss on your trip to Gran Canaria, and even more so knowing that it is one of the European destinations with the most days of sunshine per year. So... any time is a good time to discover this fishing port and its small beach!
Caldera de los Marteles viewpoint
The Caldera de los Marteles viewpoint is located on the island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain). From this place you can see the Caldera de los Marteles, a caldera of volcanic origin that was formed as a result of an eruption of almost a million years where the lava from the volcano mixed with underground water pockets. This formation is located in the eastern part of the summit of the island of Gran Canaria and is approximately 80 meters deep and 550 meters in diameter. The Caldera de los Marteles viewpoint is on the way on most routes to Roque Nublo, so it becomes a common stop on your route by car around the island of Gran Canaria. Its views, its environment full of vegetation and the dense fog that forms from one moment to the next make the Caldera de los Marteles Viewpoint a place well worth visiting.
