thinktink Says: Always found dolphins fascinating, the tour was not ridiculously overpriced and although we saw some Dolphins they offered free tickets for next day, or until we saw them as they were gone as quickly as they were spotted. Unfortunately we did this on our last day so were...
solopes Says: About 10 km from Maspalomas, this cool park has a nice collection of cactus, and a very funny show of trained birds. It's a very good idea for a brake in sun tanning, and a must see if you're travelling with children.
solopes Says: We didn't spend much time in Las Palmas. It seemed a modern city, with a reasonable beach, but with too much movement, so, we quickly moved to the southern coast. But living in Las Palmas may have some hidden advantages that we didn't find (nor search for).
solopes Says: As usual, an old stage to cowboy films was kept and used to live show. A group of stunts perform an assault and the subsequent fight and escape. Everything is too quick, almost as real. After and before the show you may wander around the village, have a drink in the saloon,...
MALKS2010 Says: A warning about the African women.... do not stop to talk to them as they soon grab your wrists and go on to put a bracelet on you.... then they demand money!!! If you say you havent got any they them grab your bags and look for it themselves! Very scary experience being in...
azlantis Says: A Fantastic 4 hours of adventure. It will be a day that will stay in my mind for a long time. We had very good weather as usual for the Canaries and went places i dont think anyone else goes to. Its amazing scenery when you get high up, you can see for miles.The quads were...
tompt Says: Arucas is the third city of the island. 27000 people live here. The city is famous for its rum. The Arehucas factory produces 3.5 million liters of rum each year. The most famous rum on the island is the Ron Miel, rum mixed with honey.But the most eyecatching thing in Arucas...
Maria_75 Says: This park is a subtropical oasis, about 10 km from Maspalomas. You drive through dry and barren landscape and when you come to the park it's like beeing in a totally different place.You can find botanical gardens with over 1000 palmtrees and more than 15.000 plants. There...

CANALE GRANDE: DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT
manuela1 Says: We had the unfortunate experience of being conned into paying over the odds in tax in a so called Italian restaurant named GRANDE CANALE in the Campo Internacional area. In Gran Canaria some eateries include a 5% tax into the bill and others do not and 5% is added on at the...
shopping center kasbah: playa del ingles
manuela1 Says: We have just returned from a weeks stay in Maspalomas and visited Playa del Ingles and as our guide book states, you either love it or hate it and we did not like it very much at all. The negatives of the place is that it is full of big imposing blocks of flats and while...

tompt Says: Although there are busservice in the busy tourist area and the city of Las Palmas, the bus is not convienient if you want to go inland.Better to hire a car. There are loads of carhire companies. But be aware, the rates they advertise do not always cover all insurance.We...

solopes Says: In the harbour of Mogan you may try an adventure, diving in a small submarine that goes to about 20 meters deep. It's a serious dive, but the bottom of the sea is a disappointment. For those lucky guys that once had watched the coral reefs even in a glass bottom boat, the...
kevin36 Says: Puerto Rico has three large shopping and entertainment malls, the largest being the Centro Civico, where visitor's can buy literally anything. There is everything from banks to boutiques, florists and fishmongers, and dozens of duty-free stores selling electrical goods,...
solopes Says: I strongly recommend that you do as we did: to rent a jeep and go inland. The landscape is awesome, and the contrast between the rural villages in the narrow valleys and the organized development in the coast is impressive. Drive up through Palmitos park, go up the mountain,...
Regina1965 Says: What a lovely little town Firgas is! I had drunk the Firgas water for many years not knowing that it comes from a little town in the mountains of Gran Canaria. The main street in the town is awesome, a steep street with a 30 meters´high artificial waterfall, so simple but...

It may be man made, but it's very enticing, with a halo-like sweep of sand that curves its way around the bay made up of crushed sea shells. Made up of good looking whitewashed hotels and complexes...
