Definitely worth it - excursions into the interior
From your holiday accommodation, holiday home or apartment on the sandy beach with sea view in the holiday resort San Agustin, you can start discovery tours that take you to the most beautiful places on the island. In the southwest direction are the dunes of Maspalomas. They are a nature reserve and house a small oasis where numerous water birds find a breeding ground. A pretty lighthouse marks the southernmost tip of Gran Canaria. It stands at the end of Playa de Maspalomas in the Meloneras district. On a tour into the interior, a visit to Palmitos Park is worthwhile. This extensive botanical garden displays many rare plants, some of which come from the island and some from tropical regions. A parrot show and dolphin demonstrations provide great photo opportunities and variety. If you are interested in giant lizards, you can visit the Crocodilo Park near Cruce de Arinaga. In this park, crocodiles and other wildlife find a home when they can no longer be cared for by their owners. Wonderful hikes through the mountain world of Gran Canaria offer you fantastic views far over the sea. Popular excursion destinations are the Roque Nublo near Tejeda and the Caldera de los Marteles nature reserve. A fun highlight is also the Canary cross-country skiing with numerous trails.

How the Canarios eat
The Canary Islands are known for their delicious specialties with fish, seafood and agricultural products. In the taverns of the holiday resort San Agustin around your apartment, your apartment on the sandy beach or holiday home, you can enjoy grilled squid, sea bream or prawns. Fresh salad and the small wrinkled potatoes, which are typical for this region, go well with this. They are cooked in strong salt water and get a fine salt crust after being removed. Traditionally, they are eaten with green or red Mojo or with Aioli. Mojo is a cold dip made from peppers, chervil and spices. Each restaurant has its own recipe, which is why the Mojo always tastes a little different. The small bananas from the plantations around Mogán are particularly delicious. They are very sweet and aromatic and should not be missing from any breakfast by the pool.

Here you can stay cheaply with several people and are independent of the opening hours of the restaurants.
