As a region it was developed as one of the first package holiday destinations on the canaries & continues as one of Spain's busiest destinations for this "2 weeks in the sun" style holidays. The area caters for all budgets ranging from the luxury 4 & 5 star hotels in Costa Melonares to the cheap & cheerful apartments in Playa del Ingles. In entertainment the same can be said with fine dining restaurants available as well as all you can eat buffets & even a McDonalds on the beach front in Playa del Ingles. The area boasts year round sunshine but having been here on separate occasions in July, September (twice) & November I can safely say the temperatures are a little less in the winter then summer. What the area is best suitable for is for a lazy sun holiday for all ages or if you’re in your teens & twenties a party holiday- it doesn't really boast too much Spanish culture & most of the local attractions are based around the sun, sea & sand. If that’s what you are after though you will find it hard to beat Maspalomas.close
