A Mixture Of Lush Forest And Desert-like Dunes
Approximately 50 of the 236 kilometers of coastline are occupied by diverse beaches. Maspalomas, with 250 hectares of dunes by the sea, is unquestionably the focal point. In addition to this calm sandy shore, Gran Canaria also has abrupt wild areas with secluded unspoiled spots, such as Güigüí, or rockscapes that push headlong hundreds of feet towards the sea, such as the cliffs of Andén Verde.

Most of the beaches are found on the southern end of the island, where the climate is sunny and dry. Whereas the mountains in the interior retain the clouds coming from the north, the south has clear skies all year long, and sunbathing and swimming are possible in winter as well as in summer.
