      The hike along the beach from Maspalomas Playa de Ingles and back through the dunes is fascinating 🇪🇦👍😎🌞. You should definitely do that when you are in Gran Canaria. 👌

        Good short cut through a parking garage

          You should definitely include this path in your hike. It is really fascinating, but also a bit difficult due to the very fine sand.

            The Maspalomas Dunes (Spanish: Dunas de Maspalomas) are sand dunes on the southern coast of the island of Gran Canaria in the province of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands. The 404 hectare area of the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana has been protected as a nature reserve since 1. They were among the contenders for the 1987 Treasures of Spain competition.
            They were formed by sand from the now subdued sea shelf when it was drained during the last ice age and the wind blew the sand towards the island's coast.

              Fascinating dune landscape that is definitely worth a short hike. If there is strong wind, be sure to take a cloth or something similar with you to protect your face from the sand.

                Very hot sand in summer
