Las Burras Beach and San Agustín Promenade

Walking Along the Ocean in Gran Canaria

The promenade between the beaches of Las Burras and San Agustín offers panoramic views and also captures the essence of the southern coastline.

The colossal and the minute coexist in the views from the promenade linking the beaches of Las Burras and San Agustín in the south of Gran Canaria. Your gaze is likely to be drawn first to the imposing presence of the Atlantic, which here appears immense and thunderous as it crashes against the coast. The tip of Maspalomas and the dunes can be glimpsed in the distance, towards the west. They form a winding golden outline that frames the scene.

San Juan, Telde

A Visitor Welcome Centre in Telde

The municipality of Telde, in the east of Gran Canaria, is situated in a fertile plain known as “La Vega Mayor”, a place one falls in love with at first sight. If we step inside this area, we will find an even greater treasure: bananas, oranges, cucumbers, flowers, ornamental plants, tomatoes, peppers and sugar cane are grown there.

The secrets of the Sand Nativity Scene at Las Canteras Beach

Sand does not make a distinction or cares about where the bare feet of the people who walk on it come from. And the waves that break on the shore speak a language that everyone can understand, no matter what their mother tongue is. All differences are washed away by the gentle breeze and the white foam, at least for a moment. That is why Gran Canaria displays its Christmas spirit on the beach, by recreating an ephemeral Sand Nativity Scene that carries a universal and timeless message.
