Playa del Ingles is a resort on the island of Gran Canaria, the most popular of Spain’s Canary Islands. Playa del Ingles is actually one part of the vast Maspalomas tourist development, and is one of the earliest resorts built there. It is the largest of the resorts, and the most lively. This is the place for people who like to lounge on the beach or by the pool in the daytime, and then hit the discos and other brightly lit night spots after sunset. If you’re looking for a wild, fun vacation or weekend, Playa del Ingles is a good holiday destination.
For those who want to get away from the Playa del Ingles hotels for a while, there is plenty to see and do on Gran Canaria. A drive through the island’s countryside takes you through banana plantations and orchards of citrus, papaya and mango trees. At Agaete you can visit the beautiful Huerto de las Flores Botanical Gardens. At Cenobio de Valeron visitors can see the cliff-face in which there are hundreds of caves, once hiding places for the Guanche people, the original inhabitants of these islands, who were driven to extinction. At Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the largest city in the Canary Islands, visitors can see the 15th century governor’s mansion where Christopher Columbus stayed. It is now a museum dedicated to the explorer’s voyages. At the Museo Canario, visitors can see Guanche mummies and skulls, and other artifacts from early Canary Island history.
