What to see or do in and around Gran Canaria

Bahia Feliz (Isla de Gran Canaria)
Quiet place to relax
Bahia Feliz in much quieter than Maspalomas, and you can enjoy the nature there. The connection to Maspalomas is good, with a lot of buses costing 1.45 euro (or 2 euro - you must be careful to pronounce the correct destination stop).

Zum Entspannen geeignet.
Der Strand ist sehr schön, im Winter allerdings sehr windig. Sonnen und Baden kann man sich eigentlich nur am Hotelpool.

Amadores (Isla de Gran Canaria)
Beautiful place
Amadores is the best beach on Gran Canaria. I love the white sand. It is very peaceful and no naturists walking around. A lot of nice small restaurants.
