Huge Balcony over Las Canteras By CanariasGetaway

Here at Canariasgetaway, we're confident you'll enjoy a wonderful stay and holiday in Gran Canaria (Biosphere Reserve) with unbeatable views of “Las Canteras Beach” and Tenerife, with Spain’s highest peak (Mount Teide, 3,718 m) rising above it, as well as spectacular sunsets.

“Las Canteras Beach” is a long stretch of sand, spanning about 3,800 metres of coastline, that extends along the bay.

Las Canteras is one of the best urban beaches in the country and the world, as it enjoys good weather almost all year round. It’s the capital’s go-to spot for relaxation, where time stands still and where you can enjoy sports any day of the week—whether you’re wearing a swimming costume, bikini, goggles and snorkel, beach paddles, or a surfboard.

It’s also a rich marine life reserve. Its seabed is home to thousands of species of fish. On land, it’s a haven for strollers, fishermen, and surfers. And it has a unique feature. That feature is what the locals call “La Barra,” a long rocky formation that stretches out not far from the sand and protects much of the beach from the tides, transforming it into a natural saltwater pool at low tide. A curious line of rock that makes the bay the best place on this side of the globe for swimming, since the saltwater makes it easier to float, and wearing goggles gives you the impression of being inside a giant aquarium

And while you’re out walking, we recommend the long promenade that winds continuously along the sand, passing by cafés and ice cream shops. At the start of the promenade, you’ll find the terraces of La Puntilla and the fresh seafood restaurants. At the other end of the beach, the surfer vibe around the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, with more terraces and cafés facing the sea.

Las Canteras is the Ever-Changing Beach. It will never be the same place as the day before. It will be completely different. And that’s another of its unique features. It always remains in the same spot, yet it always looks different.
