Faro de Maspalomas (Maspalomas lighthouse)

Let your imagination soar towards Maspalomas

Your imagination mirrors these seagulls, always ready to soar off on the slightest breeze. 

Their flight expresses their lust for life against the backdrop of the sky and in this case also highlighting the silhouette of the Maspalomas Lighthouse, in the south of Gran Canaria. This picture portrays a fleeting instant in more than a century of lights, stretching back to that distant day in 1890 when the light projected its first beam.

Puerto de Mogán, Gran Canaria

El Puerto de Mogán is the kingdom of sea and land

The sun sets the pace for life in southern Gran Canaria, blurring the borders between worlds

The sun is the clock that sets the pace for life in these waters, and its rays are the hands that show the hours and minutes as they tick by. The skipjack tuna that surge through Mogán’s water in the summer only rise to the surface in daylight to feed off the yellow tails, headstanders or mackerel. As soon as the light begins to fail, they return to the depths. They are children of the light, bound to it. Their force is titanic, capable of travelling up to one hundred kilometres a day, although they are lost without the day’s guiding light.

Sustainability finds a home in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria has been awarded the demanding ‘Biosphere Destination’ seal, also earning a spot in the top fifteen European destinations with the most certified accommodation.

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.
