General overview
Playa de Arinaga is a quiet and safe coastal town in the southeast of Gran Canaria (the average temperature ranges between 22 C in winter and 26 C in summer). The area, rich in marine fauna, makes it ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. As well as other water activities, or simply to sunbathe and relax on the free platforms installed on the coast or on its small beach. It also has a natural pool without waves. It has a 4 km promenade, ideal for walking or playing sports next to the sea. There are numerous good restaurants with prices for natives, bars, supermarkets, shops and other services open every day.
-15 min. From the airport
-20 minutes from great beaches such as Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, Amadores and Anfi del mar.
-25 min. from Las Palmas G.C. (capital)
-30 min. from Puerto Rico
-35 min. from the famous Puerto de Mogán.
-1 hour from Roque Nublo and the center of the island.
Arinaga is ideal due to its location as a logistical base to get to know the rest of the island, no destination is more than 1 hour away by car. The ideal is to rent a car and explore the entire area. It is easy, safe and interesting to see the contrast of the southern coastal area with its golden beaches, the northern area, less touristy, with its black volcanic sand beaches and the trails in the mountains of the interior of the island, full of vegetation and impressive sights.
Playa de Arinaga has a mostly native population, which allows you to get to know the Canarian culture more closely. And not feel the burden of the overcrowding of the most tourist areas, but at the same time have the most important beaches of Gran Canaria close by.
The space
It is a recently renovated apartment of 100 m2, with sea views from the balcony and 25 meters from a long promenade. It has 3 bedrooms, one main with a king bed and the other two with single beds. 2 bathrooms (1 en suite with the master bedroom). A very spacious living room and a well-equipped kitchen. If you like coffee, you will have no problem, there are 3 types of coffee makers: capsules, drip and Italian. There is also a kettle for tea.
You will find the apartment very clean. Cleanliness is important to us, we hope to find your home the same.
It is a very quiet building, with only 6 apartments, where you will only hear the waves of the sea.
The installation of air conditioning is not permitted in the building. No neighbor considers it necessary because generally the temperature in the area is usually pleasant. The apartment is quite cool, being very close to the sea. In summer, by opening a window or the balcony even minimally, the fresh sea breeze immediately enters. In any case, we have several fans in the apartment if they are necessary.
Wifi and very fast internet of 600 Mbps. Ethernet connection in all rooms and living room.
TV with HBO MAX, SkyShowtime, Movistar (with some international channels), FIRE TV and all Spanish channels.
Guest access
It is a first floor, and is accessed by stairs.
My parking spaces are rented. But if you rent a car, it is easy and free to park on the street. Most days, you will park in front of the apartment.
Notes
Thomas Whitmore, director of climatological research at the University of Syracuse (USA), carried out the only existing scientific study, which he titled the “Indices of the most pleasant climates”, where Las Palmas de Gran Canaria appeared as the place with the best climate in the world. world. The study, published by Consumer Travel Publications, was based on a comparison of meteorological statistics (days of precipitation and water and air temperature) from more than six hundred places in the world.
I can't guarantee good weather 100%, but there is a good chance.
