Description
Dunas de Maspalomas is a nice area to take a walk when you want to have a quick getaway from the tourist areas but don't want to go to far. The dunes can be explored barefoot but be a bit careful when going in among the shrubs as fallen branches can be on the path. Summer on Gran Canaria offers more birds and that is true for this place as well. In summer look up to get a glimpse of Common Swift and Plain Swift. Year round you can amongst others find Berthelot's Pipit, Eurasian Hoopoe, Spectacled Warbler, Canary Islands Chiffchaff, Sardinian Warbler and the Canarian subspecies of Blackbird hopping through the bushes, while Barbary Falcon and Eurasian Kestrel fly overhead.

Access
Located to the east of Charca de Maspalomas this place is easily reached by foot from Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles. Buses go regularly to both places. The terrain is sandy and can therefore be a bit challenging for some. The total walking route shown on the map is approximately 7 km, but can be easily shortened.
