Maspalomas Lighthouse
Maspalomas Lighthouse is a lighthouse that has weathered the elements, standing quietly where the dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean. Built in the late 19th century, it serves as a guiding beacon for navigation on the island. Initially, this area was just a desolate sea of sand, but the lighthouse cast a long shadow in the sunset, gradually becoming a symbol of this coastline. Strolling to the lighthouse, you will pass through soft dunes, with swaying palm trees nearby and a gentle sea breeze. Upon reaching its base, the light-colored stone walls and red-tiled roof create a charming contrast. Not only is its exterior elegant, but its annex is now open to the public as a folk craft exhibition center. Inside, wooden stairs lead to the former watch rooms, where exhibitions tell the story of the lighthouse's role in navigation, the island's transformation, and local handicrafts. At dusk, it forms a beautiful scene with the coastline and the sunset. The small square, restaurants, and handicraft shops nearby are perfect for relaxing after sightseeing.Meloneras · 3.1km from downtown

Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are an autonomous archipelago of Spain, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa, and consist of seven main islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Lanzarote Island. The archipelago enjoys a subtropical oceanic climate, with warm weather year-round and minimal temperature differences between winter and summer, making the seawater suitable for swimming throughout the year. Each of the main islands has distinct highlights: Tenerife's Parque Nacional del Teide centers on the Teide volcano. This cone-shaped volcano, with an altitude of over 3,700 m, is the highest peak in Spain. You can take a cable car to a platform near the summit to overlook the sea of clouds rolling over the volcanic wasteland, and on clear nights, the mountains are perfect for stargazing; Gran Canaria is home to Las Palmas, one of the most populous cities in the archipelago. The city's Las Canteras Beach features fine sand, clear water, and gentle waves, while the Maspalomas Dunes in the south of the island are a sea of gold extending to the coast, offering a completely different landscape from the other islands; Lanzarote Island's Timanfaya National Park preserves vast areas of solidified lava fields. You can take a tour bus along the Volcano Route to travel through them, watch geothermal demonstrations that use underground residual heat to create steam eruptions, and even ride a camel slowly across the charred volcanic slopes. The Canary Islands are surrounded by the sea, offering a rich selection of marine activities such as surfing, diving, sailing, and boat trips to watch whales and dolphins, and there is convenient transportation connecting the islands.Valsequillo de Gran Canaria · 27.9km from Maspalomas
