Las Palmas might be Gran Canaria’s capital, but Playa del Ingles gets the popular vote. You’ll find it all the way at the Canary Island’s tip, part of the long string of resorts that join together along the south coast – starting in San Agustin and ending in Maspalomas and Meloneras. With shops, bars and clubs in spades, Playa del Ingles is the manmade to dune-filled Maspalomas’ natural.
