posted by dlinton What a fantastic place! I'm quite taken with saltpans and things like that and I adored this museum! So informative and I think the saltpans themselves are just stunning. Playa de Amadores
posted by pstough What a gorgeous bay! My boyfriend and I were staying here and learned that the name means lovers beach and you really can see why as it's such a romantic and peaceful place. Perfect for a secluded getaway it feels a million miles away from cramming yourself on the tube! Cactualdea Park
posted by pfields Wonderful place! Such verdant greenery, I love the HUGE palm trees. We had a lovely day here walking around and eating our lunch by the large cacti!! Holiday World
posted by yunk My mates and I went here a couple of times on holiday in Gran Canaria. We went on the rides, did the go-karting and also had a couple of nights out in the clubs there. Fun and convenient. Playa del Ingles
posted by losteen Madness! But wicked fun, we went here for a week and partied, shopped, and sunbathed til we dropped. Definitely not the place to go if you want to chill out or be dull! |
