You've Arrived in San Agustín: Here's What To Do First

Sometimes we think there's a giant conspiracy amongst San Agustín fans to keep it quiet and off the radar. It's certainly the most tranquil and least-visited of Gran Canaria's resorts.

 

Once you arrive, check in and put on your warm weather clothes it's time to go out and explore. Head down to the beachfront for a first glimpse of the crowd-free golden beach. Turn left along the promenade and you start to climb up the headland towards Bahía Feliz. It's a dead end, but you get a great view north with tiny Pirata beach below you.

Turn right along the shore and the promenade stretches for kilometres all the way to the Maspalomas dunes and Playa del Inglés resort.

 For food pick a restaurant on the beach, such as the famous El Capitán or head inland to the San Agustín shopping centre. This is showing its age to be honest, but the Greek restaurant is great.

There isn't much else to see in San Agustín resort and that's a large part of its charm.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
