Each dune in Maspalomas tells a story. They are wandering mountains, each with their very own biography. They come from the sea in search of the sky. These sand formations are daughters of the elements that combine to create them. Firstly, the sea currents leave sand on the shore. The sun in the south of Gran Canaria plays its part by drying them, then the wind drags them inland.
