Beach of Amadores, a destination for the family

The beach of Amdores, in Gran Canaria, is one of those destinations that seem to be tailor made for those travelling with family. Known as one of the quietest areas and with the best atmosphere on the island, it also offers a perfect beach for children, protected from the strong currents of the Atlantic ocean by two large breakwaters.

The beach of Amadores, viewed from the hill under which it runs, looks like a large family swimming pool where children can spend the day playing in the water and parents can rest   sunbathing peacefully, completely unconcerned.

Autumn Sun in Port Mogan

Summer is almost over, but for many this is when holidays begin. The traditional beach destinations in Spain become less crowded and allow for tranquility and relaxation where, just a few days ago, there was large crowds and noise. September and October are the perfect months to enjoy an autumn under the sun, and if we have to choose, Port Mogan in Gran Canaria is possible one of the best destinations for this fall.
