Gran Canaria: walk over the dunes

The hotel was minutes away from this view - have you noticed the descent to get to the beach?!

Playa del Inglés

Who can resist a photo of a palm tree? I’m sure there’ll be more to come.

Meanwhile you’re stuck with your faithful blogger, strategically positioned with the beginning of the Dunas de Maspalomas in the background (and near the end of the proper footpath)

The way through is well marked with posts…

…always with the fabulous mountain backdrop.

No, it’s not a mirage: that’s Maspalomas, our destination

We crossed this ravine dug out to collect any rainfall, a very special and rare commodity 

At last we arrive at the Faro de Maspalomas…

…and a very impressive fountain.

There were sand sculptures with admiring crowds…

…Homer looking very happy to be the centre of attention.

We were tired and hot. There was only one thing for it, a very reasonably priced taxi back to the hotel.
