Advantages and features of a beach holiday in Gran Canaria
The beach resorts of the paradise of Gran Canaria are concentrated mainly along the southern perimeter of the coastline. This is due to the mildest climatic feature, since it is this coastal area that is tightly protected from constant winds by an extended mountain range leading to the very center of the island. It is this area that is ideal for a quiet family holiday, thanks to the comfortable water temperature. The coastal relief is gentle and smooth, and calm is almost always observed on the surface of the water surface.
Continuing the theme of the advantages of the southern beaches of the Gran Canaria resort, it is worth noting the tourist site of Maspalomas. You can order a tour to this part of the island in order to enjoy one of the main natural attractions - Dunas de Maspalomas. The five-kilometer recreation area is strewn with velvety golden sand brought from the Sahara desert itself. Everything for the comfort of guests. The tourist complex Maspalomas covers such resorts as Baia Feliz, Meloneras, Playa del Aguila, Campo International, Playa del Inglés and San Agustin.
The northern territory of Gran Canaria is considered less favorable for calm swimming and exploring the marine world of flora and fauna. However, here guests will be offered a wide range of water sports. It should be noted that this area is a natural reserve. Here you can enjoy the untouched beauty of steep cliffs, frozen elements of volcanic masses, as well as azure waters surrounded by deep bays.
The central island part is represented by a wide variety of amazing flora, evergreen trees scattered over the surface of the mountainous terrain. More modest tourist centers have been built here, such as Puerto de Mogán, a small settlement with traditional architecture, as well as Puerto Rico, from whose beach you can go fishing, windsurfing or skydiving.

Guide to Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria attracts tourists from all over the world with its amazing nature. First of all, the guides recommend visiting the widely spread Dunes of Maspalomas. There are a number of versions about the origin of sandy reliefs in this area. However, scientists have come to the conclusion that the Dunes were formed due to the winds from the African Sahara desert. Here, everyone can order a measured ride on noble camels, enjoying the southern sun smoothly leaving the horizon.
It is also necessary to visit the top of the island volcano Bandama, to the sleeping crater of which there are several trails. You can enjoy the scenery of this area by getting to the observation deck Pico de Bandama. Those wishing to buy memorable souvenirs are invited by the locals to a small village of potters, located very close, in the neighborhood.
About a couple of dozen kilometers from Maspalomas is the famous Crocodile Park, famous for its unique reptile show. Also, various predators, herbivores, other reptiles and amphibians live here.
The most memorable architecture of the island was erected in the center of its capital - Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The large ancient chapel of San Antonio, the huge square of Santa Ana, on which the church of the same name, several palaces, and the Columbus house-museum are located, have been preserved here. This is a truly unique architectural structure, which is the former residence of the island governor. Today it is a museum of various geographical discoveries. Columbus himself lived here back in 1492 while his ship was being repaired.
