Dunas de Maspalomas, Gran Canaria

Seven secrets whispered by the Maspalomas sands

The Maspalomas Dunes Special Nature Reserve is brimming with nature and history to be discovered and protected

1. The birth of a dune
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.

El Álamo Trail in Teror

Silent steps through the Álamo Ravine

The circular route through Teror’s Álamo Ravine embraces Gran Canaria’s biodiversity and countryside.

The ravines are arteries where Gran Canaria’s life blood flows most intensely.
