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.
