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 hudournik and enobarvni hudournik. Year round you can amongst others find kanarska cipa, smrdokavra, osočnikova penica, kanarska listnica, žametna penica and the Canarian subspecies of kos hopping through the bushes, while Barbary Falcon and navadna postovka 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.
