It is a peaceful place for hikers, surfers, and nudists.
Spain’s Playa de Maspalomas has been ranked as the sunniest beach in Europe. This is reported by Daily Express.
It is noted that you can enjoy the sun for an average of just over 10 hours a day, making it an ideal place to escape the winter darkness.
This golden-sand beach, which stretches for 12 kilometers along the coast, is famous for its breathtaking dunes, which are part of the protected Maspalomas Natural Dune Reserve.
It is a peaceful meeting place for hikers, surfers and nudists. The famous Maspalomas Lighthouse was built in 1861 and once served as an indispensable landmark for steamships traveling between Europe, Africa and America.
Interestingly, today the lighthouse marks the beginning of a lively promenade. Not far from the beach, there is the Maspalomas palm plantation, a protected natural area that serves as a resting place for birds migrating from Europe to Africa. Walking along its palm-lined paths is a refreshing experience after a day spent in the sun.
From above, this stunning beach looks like an alien landscape. Its orange sand, winding and swaying on the high hills, is unlike anything else you’ll find in Europe. Saga has named it the sunniest winter beach on the continent, ranking it among the beaches with the most sunshine hours during the winter months.ad
It is important to note that Playa de Maspalomas, located on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, offers not only sunshine in winter but also warm weather. During the winter, the temperature on the island reaches 22°C.
The beach has an excellent reputation on TripAdvisor, where it has received thousands of positive reviews. One of the visitors commented:
“It’s beautiful, especially in the early morning and at sunset, when the sun seems to play with the ocean waves and golden sand dunes, creating unique and always new views.”
Another user claims that this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Gran Canaria.
“It’s very extensive, and the dune landscape is unique. The beach and water are always incredibly clean. We love coming here, ” he added.
