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.

Muelle Viejo, Arinaga

Arinaga´s old jetty

The municipality of Agüimes has recently opened a new bathing site to the public in the old jetty located in Arinaga, popularly known as Muelle Viejo. This jetty was built at the end of the 19th century and is considered of great historical and ethnographic value.

The Muelle Viejo is half hidden at the foot of the mountain where the current lighthouse stands, in Punta de Arinaga. To the north, we find the El Cabrón beach, where divers plunge into the sea every day to explore the crystalline ocean, full of fish, starfish, seahorses, and large conch shells once used by the inhabitants of Gran Canaria.


Arucas

Arucas, the Gateway to the North of Gran Canaria

Arucas has launched its new tourism site with a campaign that emphasizes its role as the Gateway to the North of Gran Canaria.

A long time has passed since the city of Arucas was founded at the beginning of the 16th century. And many things have changed, but the essentials remain the same. The skilled hands of the workers and the blue-toned stone from the local quarry made it possible to build the Church of San Juan Bautista, an architectural emblem of the municipality and a symbol of the community’s commitment to the place they live in.
