About Maspalomas Dunes
The Maspalomas Dunes are a Nature Reserve and one of the most spectacular landscapes in Europe: 400 hectares of golden sand meeting the Atlantic, next to the historic Lighthouse. Raquel takes you from your cruise ship in 45 minutes.
The Charca de Maspalomas, right next to the lighthouse, is a RAMSAR-protected wetland for migratory birds. Raquel can plan a combined trip with Maspalomas in the morning and Puerto de Mogán in the afternoon for a full south coast experience.

Best time to visit
Best time: 09:00-12:00 (less heat, golden light). Sunset at the lighthouse (18:00-19:00) is spectacular but more crowded.
Raquel's local tips
Bring sun protection and water. Walk barefoot on the sand. The lighthouse is open to visitors. Best days: Thursday-Friday (less crowded than weekends).
