MASPALOMAS DUNAS

I felt very comfortable on Maspalomas beach by the famous Maspalomas dunas which are the only dunes in Europe if we can say that Canaries are part of Europe. Dad said that it was horoble, couse I've taken at home a few kg of sand. Water was very cold 20 degrees, so once my feet were wet I was very afraid. Sand castle was my favorite if we can call it so.

Parque bali resort

Due to the fact that it is more convinient to stay in apartment my parents decided to take me into Parque bali resort in Maspalomas -place crowded with turists. Bungalows were actually very ok couse they had 2 terasses one even on the roof. There were a lot of kids from Spain spending their May the 1st holidays. Water in the pool was 24, so a little bit cold for me.

PALMITOS Park

One day we visited Palmitos Park which is very hard to find. It is few km from Maspalomas but signposts are disaster you have to pass Banana park. Here you can by ticket for Aqualand also to get a discount. Park is very beautiful and it really impressed me. There are a few thousands of cactus trees and a very niceshow with parrots. I was very scared when big uglly bird landed. We have had really nice time and mum have taken some wonderfull photos.
