Gran Canaria Recommendations

[NL Claret]

This forum beats Trip advisor for me.

Thinking of a week in June , not after much nightlife, fish restaurants, tapas paella etc , a few bars.

Which are the best resorts?

Maspolomas dunes during the day and the Cita centre in the evening.

Amadores is OK walking distance to Puerto Rico

Maspalomas is much quieter than Puerto Rico and has a good selection of restaurants and hotels.

I’d avoid Puerto Rico for eating but it’s good for a night out. Playa del Ingles is another to avoid based on what you’re after - it is popular though, especially with gay men/ women.

Puerto Mogán is very nice - quiet but plenty local bars and eating if you look around.

Also, worth hiring a car and taking a trip up to the north of the island where it’s much wetter and greener - Teror and Firgas are worth a visit (the former more so) as is the capital.

Plenty choice in GC.

Yumba Centre in Playa del Ingles good for a laugh if you're broad minded some great restaurants and bars though

Sioux City is great. Or was. Gran Canaria was my first ever holiday abroad on a plane. Went with my mate at 16 and bloody loved it! Went again ten years ago and it hadn't changed much still enjoyed it.

Canaries are great but I have only been in winter. Some nice beaches. The dunes are impressive. And I remember some very nice restaurants down by the lighthouse near Masplalomas. They were pretty new at the time I think. It was when we played spurs away in The League Cup Semi when I went so it may have changed a lot since then.
