The
resorts of Gran Canaria
Playa
del Ingles translates is situated at the south of
Gran Canaria and is well known for being one of the
largest and busiest resorts in the Canaries. With fantastic
beaches and plenty to do, it's especially popular with
families.
On
the southern tip of the island you'll find the slightly
quieter but equally popular holiday resort of Maspalomas.
Four miles of golden sands are amongst the very best
in the Canaries, let alone the island itself.
Situated
on the south west coast, Puerto Morgan is one
of the more up-market resorts on Gran Canaria. The town
is an old fishing village that has recently started
to be developed into a modern resort town but retains
a Spanish feel to it. Tourism is centered around the
marina which bustles with local boats, yachts and Atlantic
cruisers. There are a selection of bars, shops and restaurants
aimed at tourists, but the shops are less tacky than
in neighbouring resorts and the restaurants serve some
of the best seafood on the island.
Puerto
Rico has a dramatic setting being surrounded by
hills and is packed full of shops, bars and restaurants.
Take a visit to the marina and marvel at how the 'other
half' live with luxury yachts that wouldn't look out
of place in some of the worlds most luxurious harbours.
