That place was a pleasant surprise - it was a colorful, quaint Spanish village with few tourists. Don't expect the world's best beach, but it's worth a visit if you're in the north of Gran Canaria. The restaurants are nothing fancy, but offer local cuisine and fresh fish. If you're looking for a beach and sun, head south - but if you're after something a bit different, this is the place to go.

This beach near Lomo Quintanilla is a great spot to enjoy some sun and sand. There's plenty of space to relax on the soft sand, as well as explore the rocky shoreline. During the season, it's a great place to watch amazing fireworks displays and take part in fun parties. Plus, there are plenty of great restaurants nearby, making it the perfect starting point for a nature walk.
