Breaks in Maspalomas – Maspalomas Hotels
Posted February 2, 2010 by BookingBuddy
February may be one of the bleakest months of the year, but it can look a lot brighter from a warm sandy beach in the Canary Islands. The town of Maspalomas boasts some of the most enticingly golden sand dunes on Gran Canaria, and is backed by the beautiful deep blue sea. The area offers many attractions for nature lovers, families, and – if you’re feeling naughty, has a special nudist zone.
See
Pueblo Canario – Built by the de la Torre brothers in the 1930s, this miniature Canarian village offers tourists a glimpse into the island’s native culture. The complex has several traditional style island houses surrounding a central square, where folkloric performances often take place. There are also local craft shops and the Bodegon Canario, where visitors can treat themselves to traditional Canarian food and wine.
Stay
Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia – Relax and recharge your batteries at this luxurious hotel in the middle of a thousand year old palm grove. The hotel certainly lives up to its name – it is only 200 metres away from the wonderful sand dunes of Maspalomas Beach, and many rooms offer stunning beach views. The deep blue swimming pool (with a poolside bar_ offers a great alternative to the beach should you decide to stay in. Rooms are done up in a Spanish-Moorish style, with balconies or patios that overlook the surroundings. Room rates start at about £430.
Eat
Velero Casa Antonio – This little restaurant may not look like much on the outside, but it is what’s on the menu that matters. You’ll get to try a range of typical Canarian dishes, with lots of fresh fish dishes taking the spotlight. The local bass, sole and bream are wonderful with a glass of chilled white wine, or you can opt for a huge plate of paella and a jug of sangria to share.
