Gran Canaries

Took a week with Nastasja and went to Playa de Ingles in the Gran Canaries. Beautiful Islands that are under the Spanish Flag and located just off the coast of Africa. Weather down there stay around 70-80 degrees all year round. Lots of good beaches and beautiful mountains inland.

The first fews days were totally cloudy so to make the most of it we rented a car. Great decision. The island is small, but has a bunch of different things to see and do. So, without a car, you'd be stuck in your resort city the whole time. This way we got to go inland and see the different landscapes of the island. The inland mountains are awesome, but the cloud cover was so low, as we drove higher we coulldn't see anything. The roads were very very windy and had drop offs at every turn into the valley.

At Masapalomas, the beach turns into a huge desert of Dunes. Its really cool and looks like you are walking across the Sahara.
