Faro de Maspalomas

Faro de Maspalomas, an iconic 19th-century lighthouse, marks the southern tip of Gran Canaria and oversees the transition between Maspalomas dunes and the boulevard of Paseo de Meloneras. Ideal for photographers, the area offers contrasting landscapes where the golden sands meet the Atlantic, creating stunning sunrise and sunset photography scenes. Paseo de Meloneras itself is a refined, palm-lined promenade with an array of high-end shops, restaurants, and cafes, perfect for capturing the essence of Canarian leisure life. This locale is not only a beacon for maritime guidance but also a captivating point for panoramic views, especially from the top of the lighthouse, if access is permitted during your visit. The juxtaposition of natural beauty and upscale development makes for a uniquely diverse photographic journey. November to March offers the most comfortable climate for exploration.
