On the southernmost tip of Gran Canaria is Playa del ingles, one of the largest beach resorts in Spain, literally meaning ‘Englishman’s beach’. Holidays in Playa del Ingles are all about soaking up the warm summer sun and embracing the cool ocean breeze amid a lively atmosphere.
The town has a 3km-long beach, which runs parallel to an expansive promenade filled with restaurants,
Essential Information: When to go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Gran Canaria is easy to navigate with a range of transport, transfers and car hire on offer. There are comfortable, air conditioned buses which leave from most of the main resorts regularly and stop at the island’s most famous attractions. The smaller, local buses are less reliable.
Hiring a car is cheap, easy and highly recommended. The island’s main roads are easy to navigate and well looked after; the smaller roads can be somewhat of a challenge. Driving is on the left.
Beach Heaven
As a beach resort, it is no surprise that the stretch of sand is its biggest draw.
The resort has what is seemingly an endless stretch of clear golden sand accompanied by lapping warm water.
The beach has plenty of watersports to choose from such as surfing, windsurfing, jet skiing and many more.
The promenade is full of cafes, bars and shops so when you're not sunbathing you can be shopping or relaxing with a cocktail - sounds pretty perfect!
Time for Food
Playa del Ingles is renowned for its vibrant culinary scene.
The area boasts a plethora of restaurants that cater to diverse tastes and offer a wide range of cuisines. From authentic Canarian dishes to delectable international delights and even satisfying English breakfasts, Playa del Ingles has something to satisfy every palate.
Exploring the local cuisine is a must when visiting Playa del Ingles. Traditional Canarian fare showcases the rich flavours and ingredients unique to the region.
You can indulge in mouthwatering specialties such as papas arrugadas, small, wrinkled potatoes served with mojo sauces, or tender and succulent cochino negro, a local variety of black pig. These dishes highlight the influence of Spanish, African, and Latin American flavours on Canarian cooking.
