The Punta Mujeres Archeological Ruins are located on the sea front of Melononeras between the promenade and cliff top almost infront of the Varadero Shopping centre. There is not a lot to see but you can make out the foundations and a foot or so of a circular structure.
The aboriginal Canarians lived here because of the natual local conditions, the local Maspalomas Oasis provided fresh water all year round, birds fish and shellfish were in abundant supply. There used to be many similar settlements all around the coastal areas.
