You've Arrived in Playa del Inglés: Here's What To Do First

Exploring Playa del Ingles resort Exploring Playa del Ingles resort

You've arrived in Playa del Inglés, unpacked your flip flops and want to explore the resort. Well, Playa del Inglés stretches right along the coast so you're not going to do it all on your first day. Head to the sea and the dune front promenade for an overview.

Turn left and you'll walk towards San Agustín resort. The first section runs behind the dunes and the Annexo II strip of restaurants by the beach. Walk on and you get to El Cochino beach (all three of it). Then there's Las Burras beach, and eventually, after a lovely rocky headland, San Agustín beach itself. Pick a spot for a first drink in the sunshine anywhere along the route, or take a towel and jump into the sea.

Turn right when you get to the dunes and you'll run out of promenade at the brand new lookout point in front of the big White RIU hotel. This is the spot for selfies and people watching. There's  constant stream of people walking in and out of the dunes.

From the viewpoint turn inland and walk up Avenida de Tirajana. Most of the big shopping centres are to the right of this road and it has plenty of bars and restaurants of its own.

For food just pick a shopping centre. There're so many choices that it pays to do some research beforehand. Check Tripadvisor and look at our Best Playa del Inglés Restaurants list for a curated selection.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
