An orienteering route for tourists, a different way of doing tourism.





 

Beaches: Las Canteras Beach

Las Canteras Beach

Las Canteras Beach, is one of the few European beaches that are set in a city and where swimming is permitted 365 days a year.

The city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, has the privilege of having such a beach, but one that has a couple of features that makes it simply perfect: the rich marine life it holds and in particular, the reef that protects the beach from the rough sea. The locals call this rocky formation “La Barra” (the bar), which you can easily get to when it is low tide.

Beaches: Anfi del Mar

Anfi del Mar, una playa con corazón
The Island of Gran Canaria has a huge number of beaches, some of which are natural and others are artificial; but one thing stands out: they each have their own particular charm.

One of these beaches lies SW of the island, between Puerto Rico and Arguineguín. Anfi del Mar is a beautiful, quiet, artificial beach.

This beach is not very long, but its white sands and crystal clear waters make it almost dreamlike… it looks just like the Caribbean.

If you visit Anfi del Mar, don’t just stay on the beach, go for a walk too around the area; it’s a very special place.

Gran Canaria Island

About a year ago when I first started this blog, I wrote about a couple of places on The Island of Gran Canaria: La Playa de Maspalomas y San Juan de Arucas.

Now that Turismo Natural is almost one year old, we return to The Island of Gran Canaria, as I just recently spent my holidays in Palmas de Gran Canaria. Of course, I shall suggest different places you can visit if you have the chance to travel to the island.

In the following articles you will find out about: beaches, natural monuments, cities… This island is quite complete, which means we can do different types of tourism.

BEACHES: SAN ANTONIO DEL MAR BEACH

In the previous article I wrote about a route which runs through the beaches of Cuevas del Mar and San Antonio del Mar (St Anthony of the Sea), the latter being the subject of this article.

You cannot reach the San Antonio del Mar Beach by car, but you can by bicycle or on foot.

It is a beach of singular beauty; it is clean and peaceful, set in the middle of the countryside far from civilisation and noise.
