Gran Canaria - Puerto Mogan - Krista photo
1. The port area of Puerto Mogan is simply magical – do not miss it!
2. There are more nice sandy beaches on Gran Canaria than on Tenerife
3. We adore Las Palmas because it is an authentic Spanish city and not an artificial holiday spot – plus its Las Canteras beach is great
4. The dunes of Maspalomas are lovely - like a seaside Sahara desert
5. The crystal clear waters at the blue flag beaches
6. An excursion to these inner island small towns: Teror, Firgas, Arucas
7. Adventurous driving on the very small scenic roads linking Teror to the highway, through Santa Brigida and Tafira
8. The fantastic Old Town of Las Palmas: Triana and Vegueta are must-sees in both daytime and evening
9. Palmitos Park with kids
10. Very cheap petrol – for car rental Cicar is a safe choice
11. Nicest beach of the island: Playa Amadores
1. Some beaches are artificial and the water there is not so crystal clear
2. At the dunes, many nudists are insensitive to families with small kids
3. There is not much to visit after about a week - the program is than limited to eating and frequenting the beach
4. Playa del Ingles is the embodiment of mass tourism - nothing romantic about it
5. The high entry fees for the theme parks (for ex. Palmitos Park)
6. Some dirty streets in Las Palmas and the unpleasant sounds of the wild winds
7. Some sidewalks are very slippery after it rains
8. Puerto Rico - mass tourism as well
9. The pushy African street vendors bothering vacationers sitting at cafe terraces
10. San Augustín is too calm, pretty dull
