HOW TO SPEND TIME ON THE ISLAND?

We have prepared several tips for you on how to spend your vacation in Gran Canaria.

AROUND THE APARTMENT

The apartment is located in a very quiet area of Puerto Rico. You can enjoy breathtaking views, walks, local climate. In addition to Amadores Beach, water lovers will appreciate the pool at the Vista golf complex. Amadores beach can be reached on foot or you can take a taxi (very cheap in the Canary Islands).
