But this stylish resort also crams in seafront restaurants and great days out.</span></p><h2 class="text-2xl" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">What to expect of your Maspalomas vacation</span></h2><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Sophisticated Maspalomas serves up first-class restaurants and designer boutiques alongside all the soft, golden sand you could dream of. You'll be around a 40-minute drive from buzzing Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the gorgeous, artistic capital merging beach with history and culture. Also, there are some epic nearby sand dunes to conquer...</span></p><h3 class="text-xl" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Canarian sophistication</span></h3><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">On the southern tip of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Maspalomas is a quieter, more sophisticated version of its neighbour, Playa del Inglés. Instead of big shopping centres and starry-eyed nightclubs, it serves up first-class restaurants and designer boutiques – all next to a standout strip of beach.</span></p><h3 class="text-xl" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Long beaches and sweeping sand dunes</span></h3><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">The Blue Flag beach at Maspalomas is 6 kilometres long, and 100 metres wide in places.

If you feel adventurous, you can explore the area thanks to the handy designated paths. In short, when it comes to sand, Maspalomas has it in spades.</span></p><h3 class="text-xl" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">The Maspalomas lighthouse</span></h3><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Far and away the biggest landmark is El Faro de Maspalomas, the 68-metre lighthouse at the edge of the beach. It’s attached to a period-style keeper’s inn and set in lush gardens. Aside from alerting waylaid seafarers, it also draws holidaymakers to its long Boulevard El Faro that’s crammed with cocktail bars, designer shops and restaurants.</span></p><h3 class="text-xl" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Days out</span></h3><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Maspalomas has a great line-up of days out. For starters, there’s Aqualand Maspalomas, with its cast of corkscrews, kamikazes and friendly sea lions. There’s also Sioux City, a Wild West theme park built on the site of a film set. Finally, Palmitos Park, the largest zoo on the island is also nearby. All of them are just 10 minutes away. And for golf lovers, there’s an 18-hole course overlooking the Maspalomas sand dunes.</span></p><h3 class="text-xl" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Food and fashion</span></h3><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">If you’re into your fashion, then Maspalomas will be right up your street.

You’ve got the choice of Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Asian, or Spanish food. If you do pick a local restaurant, expect tapas, seafood paella and great jugs of sangria.

Thus, those who make the pilgrimage to this northern church can receive three types of indulgence at the end of the route, equivalent to those obtained on arrival at Santiago de Compostela:</p><ul class='bullet'><li class="relative ml-5 list-disc" style="text-align:justify;">That of the ordinary visit during the whole Jubilee year.</li><li class="relative ml-5 list-disc" style="text-align:justify;">The one corresponding to that of the day of the Holy Lord St. James to be earned on 25 July.</li><li class="relative ml-5 list-disc" style="text-align:justify;">The extraordinary one that is earned both on the day of the opening of the Holy Door every 1st January of the Jubilee Year and on the day of the closing of the Holy Door on the last day of the Jubilee Year, 31st December.</li></ul><h2 class="text-3xl m-0 mb-3">Jacobean Route of Gran Canaria🥾</h2><figure class="image w-full max-w-full flex flex-wrap justify-center mx-auto"><img class="w-full" src="https://villagrancanaria.com/cms/uploads/Ruta_Camino_de_Santiago_Gran_Canaria_2.png"></figure><p style="text-align:justify;">The Way of St. James in Gran Canaria is not very well known, even by the inhabitants of the island.

The coffee grown in Agaete is of the Arabica Typica variety, one of the oldest and which is practically in disuse in a large part of Europe. This detail has not been an obstacle to recover this type of coffee and its production with great success.<br><br>We are dealing with a natural coffee that has not been previously washed, as this way it maintains its authenticity intact. Thus, this coffee from the Agaete Valley in the mouth is light, very aromatic and complex, with certain acidic nuances and a very characteristic bitter aftertaste, with certain touches of chocolate, liquorice and fruit.<br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image m-1 w-full max-w-full flex flex-wrap justify-center mx-auto"><img class="border my-3" src="https://villagrancanaria.com/cms/uploads/Agaete_Coffee_1024x683_1.jpg"></figure><p><br><br>&nbsp;</p><h2 class="text-2xl">History of the Agaete coffee</h2><p><br>The history of coffee in the Agaete Valley is the history of the introduction of coffee in the Canary Islands. Recent studies assure that the introduction of Canary Islands coffee was through the island of Tenerife in the year 1788, when some plants and seeds were brought from America and Asia.<br><br>In this way, the first shipment of seeds and exotic plants arrived at the Jardín de Aclimatación de La Orotava. It was not until the end of the 19th century that the first seeds of coffee arrived to the island of Gran Canaria. During the 30s and 40s of the 20th century, coffee production began to decrease until it completely disappeared, except in Agaete, which continued to be cultivated.<br><br>However, we cannot forget that harvesting the coffee, picking, starting to shell and hull it, all handmade, is a very expensive job. Coffee in Agaete has been surviving over the years, overcoming all these obstacles and becoming a coffee reference worldwide, receiving the visit of curious and coffee lovers, both national and foreign.<br>&nbsp;</p><h2 class="text-2xl">Where can Agaete coffee be bought?</h2><p><br>Coffee from Agaete is a product that cannot be found everywhere.
