Description of Maspalomas
Maspalomas is quieter than its party loving neighbour Playa del Ingles, making it suitable for family holidays. Maspalomas is located Maspalomas is separated from Playa del Ingles by the Maspalomas Sand dunes and nature reserve. As Maspalomas has grown new adjacent areas of tourist hotels etc have been built. These areas are called Meloneras , Campo Internacional and Sonneland.
Maspalomas BeachMaspalomas Beach comprises of a very pleasant sandy beach backed by a row of sea front cafes, bars and restaurants. As you walk along the beach beyond the inland fresh water lake the beach widens to the massive sand dunes of Maspalomas. A photograph of the Sahara-like sand dunes is difficult to forget - the sands certainly make a lasting impression. Better still, come and walk through their virtually empty expanses to the sea, and you will remember the experience for many damp British summers to come.
Between the beach and the lighthouse, the Faro de Maspalomas is a short rocky area, beyond the lighthouse the sea front is rocky. The lighthouse is also the boundary between Maspalomas & Meloneras.

NightlifeMaspalomas is much quieter than its vibrant neighbour down the coast, Playa del Ingles, and consists of a myriad of low-rise, whitewashed buildings. Consequently, for a night on the tiles, a short trip down the coast is recommended. You will of course find a good selection of bars and restaurants and most of the hotels, and some apartment complexes have nightly entertainment.
ShoppingMaspalomas has a variety of local shops and little boutiques and a largish shopping centre, CC Varadero next to the rocky sea front and the very large CC Faro 2 shopping centre inland of the golf course.The shopping centres around neighbouring Playa del Ingles offer a more comprehensive shopping experience. Alternatively, head up to the island's capital, Las Palmas, which is renowned for its excellent shopping malls and traditional stores.
