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.

Artistic streets in Vegueta, the old town of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

In the capital's neighbourhood, we find streets linked to the memory of Saint-Saëns, Alfredo Kraus, Luján Pérez, Pérez Galdós and Néstor Álamo.

There are walks that take us to places where art was born or where the memory of someone who sowed beauty remains. The neighbourhood of Vegueta, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, has art, beauty and history throughout its streets, museums, cathedral and churches. But it also has secluded streets where, if we pay attention, we can almost recognise the presence of those who once walked on its cobblestones and pavements.

Gran Canaria protects Roque Nublo

Visits to the Natural Monument of Gran Canaria can be made with a prior reservation.

Every place in the world has an image that identifies it — a photograph or a memory that stays with us when we are far away, recalling the place where we were once happy. In Gran Canaria, that place could be the Natural Monument of Roque Nublo, both for those who visit and for those who call the island “home”. It is always before our eyes when we ascend to the peak, or when we look from Tejeda or Artenara.

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.
