Playa Del Ingles
Jump on a plane and in just 4 ½ hours you can be in the sunshine, strolling along the promenade or heading for one of the many soft, sandy beaches which are scattered around this Island. Unlike Tenerife the beaches in Gran Canaria are not volcanic, black sand, and if you take a drive to the magnificent, towering sand dunes you might even stumble over the likes of Kerry MacFadden and her family. The only place to be warrey of may be Playa Del Ingles. Only come here if you want to dance till dawn and maybe share the bar with the likes of Jordan.
