The new viewpoint, surrounded by numerous native plants, has become a fresh attraction in the tourist area of Gran Canaria.

The view of Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas is one of Gran Canaria’s most iconic tourist and scenic landmarks. When arriving from the airport or the island’s capital, there comes a moment when you encounter one of those unforgettable landscapes—remarkable for its beauty, its sheer scale, and the sight of dunes that flow into a golden shoreline stretching as far as the eye can see. As Néstor Álamo’s song Maspalomas y tú says, “Down there in the South, asleep under the sun, there’s a beach,” with golden sand and a dazzling ocean—whether viewed from the shore or afar. The recently inaugurated viewpoint, accessible from the Veril area between the Anexo II Shopping Centre and the Costa Canaria Promenade, provides just such a vision: calm, peaceful, and with the perfect perspective of one of the most beautiful coastlines on the planet.

Gran Canaria takes care of you and itself. The island embraces its primary sector and invites us all to eat local produce. It also raises awareness on responsible water use and caring for natural resources, from its oceans and beaches to its forests and summits. These are examples of a global commitment which implicates not only public administrations but also the private sector. For a while now, all Gran Canaria’s paths have been leading to the same place: the need to be an increasingly sustainable tourist destination.

The BAZZAR show is inspired by the origins and legacy of Cirque du Soleil and opens in October 2024 in Gran Canaria.

A merry and colourful troupe of acrobats, dancers and musicians come together on this occasion to create a unique universe where fantasy runs wild. A place where the unexpected is possible; a troupe of artists who imagine, build and rebuild marvellous scenes in an artistic and acrobatic game. All this can be summed up in just one word, BAZZAR.
