Maspalomas
Maspalomas, also known as the Maspalomas Costa Canaria, as it also comprises the beach resorts of Águila, Las Burras, San Agustín and Playa del Ingles. Here you'll find a land strip of 2000 hectares with a total of 17 km of wonderful coastline with sand dunes, wide, sandy beaches, shallow waters and an excellent all- year-round climate - a paradise for beach lovers and family holidays.

The more upmarket Maspalomas resort, with smart hotels, luxury residences and the largest golf course on the island, is separated from Playa del Inglés by a spectacular stretch of 400 hectares of dunes, which in 1994 were designated a national park. You can only cross the dunes on foot or by camel, which makes one believe you're in a different part of the world altogether. The dunes also provide a habitat for a number of rare plant species, some of which are only to be found in the Canaries, which somehow manage to survive in this arid environment alongside lizards and rabbits.
