Maspalomas - Information - Hotels -
The oldest and biggest tourist resort on Gran Canaria, Mas Palomas has hundreds of hotels and apartment blocks, miles of sandy beaches and dunes, a wide range of bars, discos and restaurants and a vibrant and lively nightlife.
Located in the municipal area of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Maspalomas possibly got its name from a Mallorcan soldier named Rodrigo Mas de Palomar an original settler on Gran Canaria.
There is little of historical or cultural interest to be found in Maspalomas so if this is your thing then head elsewhere, there is however the lighthouse El Faro de Maspalomas which is 68 metres in height and located at the southern point of the resort where miles of beaches and sand dunes are part of a Nature Reserve. Work was begun on the lighthouse in about 1861 and it was designed by one Juan de León Castillo.
There is plenty to see and do in and around Maspalomas including Aquasur the largest water park in the Canary Islands, with plenty of slides, pools and aquatic fun, there is also a large amusement park called Holiday World which is particularly popular with the younger visitors to Maspalomas. The subtropical oasis the Palmitos Park is also very popular with numerous species of bird on show, also in nearby San Augustín you will find the Wild West theme park Sioux City another big attraction. The resort is very big with water sports enthusiasts and there are plenty of facilities to supply the demand, surfers and windsurfers make up the bulk of the sporting set although the deep-sea fishing is also in demand. Maspalomas also has a fine golf course, again the biggest on Gran Canaria and the area attracts golfers from all over the world.
The beaches are some of the finest on Gran Canaria consisting of fine white sand with a backdrop of wind sculpted dunes.
Nearby you will find Playa del Inglés where there is a huge shopping centre called the Yumbo Centrum and it is here that thousands of visitors get a bit of retail therapy while taking a break from the constant sunshine.
