About Maspalomas
Maspalomas emerged after 1960, when the south of the island was opened up for tourism. It is an ideal holiday destination for families, here there is a beautiful dune landscape and a 6-km-long fine sandy beach. Maspalomas has a personality on its own, as it evolved into a fully equipped town, instead of a plain resort. It has a variety of infrastructure and public institutions rarely seen in other touristic areas, including private clinics and two hospitals, local and foreign schooling institutions , English-language cinema, golf courses, sports centers, thematic parks and a Summer University. The population is 36,000 (2013). The tourist offices scattered about Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas are rarely open unless it is Caravale (main festival in February, gay festival in May).
