- The Beaches
of
Gran Canaria -
Maspalomas is possible to be the most beautiful among
the phantastic beaches
of this island. With its white sand at a length of 6 kilometers,
a width of up 1 kilometer, and an intensely blue sea ...this is a paradise for sun and sea
lovers, in particular during the cold European winter!

There are more modern Hotel-complexes
and Sport
installations,
than anywhere else at Faro de Maspalomas, with the island's
most important sport harbour, Pasitoblanco.
Along the beach there are several oasis with palms
and even a fresh-water lake.
Playa del Inglés next to Maspalomas, it has
a length of 2.700 meters.
This is one of the most famous beaches of the archipelago,
with modern hotels and installations of any kind.

San Agustín is less known than the two
foregoing, but quieter and more relaxing. An ideal place to forget the stress of everyday
life.

Playa de Patalavaca is another great beach
with fine sand of golden color. Also ideal for Sport-fishing.
Puerto Rico, a modern
urbanization with Hotels,
Appartments and
a nice harbour. Its great Sport installations are one of its main attractions.

Costa de Bañaderos has a beautiful
landscape with romantical small bays.
Galdar , with its bizarre high coast.
Sardina del Mar , a picturesque fishing-village with
nice beaches.
Playa de las Canteras, a wide beach of sand at 2,6
kilometers length, located directly in the capital, Las Palmas.

Playa de las Nieves means snow in Spanish
language, and this name comes from the high mountains directly behind this beach. |
