Neighbouring Maspalomas is a different story - a delightful area where you can enjoy relaxing days on the beach, which extends out to a grass fringed lagoon. Beyond, are the rolling dunes, for which this area is famous.

One of the quieter resorts is San Augustin, with a secluded beach and clear waters. This is an upmarket resort and home to the Island’s most prestigious hotels. There is a fabulous floorshow in its casino – well worth a visit.

Getting out and about, there is plenty to do. Sioux City is an imaginative reconstruction of how the west was won – where duels are shot out. Palmitos Park bird sanctuary has a colourful range of parrots to adore and the Tara caves are worth a visit too.
