A Day at the Maspalomas Beach

Enjoy the town of Maspalomas at your leisure as you take in the sights and sounds of Maspalomas Beach. After you arrive in Gran Canaria’s largest tourist town, the day’s activities are up to you. The choices are endless – walk along the golden beach, go for a swim, hunt for souvenirs or find a quiet spot and watch the day slip by. Be sure to visit Faro de Maspalomas, a 125-year-old lighthouse, reaching a height of more than 210 feet, this towering figure still serves as a beacon for seafaring ships sailing through Spanish waters. Restaurants and cafés in Maspalomas offer a wide variety of international cuisines. Canarian specialties like ropa vieja, made with chicken and beef mixed with potatoes and garbanzo beans and a salted fish dish called sancocho are two popular options. After a day of fun in the sun, you’ll rejoin the motorcoach and share memories and photos with your fellow travelers on the return trip to port.
