13 Best Things To Do in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria

While the name Puerto Rico might at first make you think of the Caribbean Sea and distant places, you must know that the Spanish resort with the same name has equally beautiful beaches and an exotic feel, perfect for a holiday in the sun.

What to do in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria - the best attractions and places to visit 

1. puerto rico beach, 2. go on a boat tour or a dolphin-watching tour, 3. shop at mogan mall, 4. palmitos park, 5. angry birds activity park, 6. coastal walk to amadores beach, 7. shopping center puerto rico, 8. gran canaria guided buggy tour, 9. spend a day at anfi del mar, 10. spend a day at playa de amadores, 11. explore the maspalomas dunes, 12. anfi tauro golf, 13. take the ferry to puerto de mogan.

Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria is a popular resort on the island of Gran Canaria, due to the year-round warm climate, which makes it the perfect destination for sunny winter breaks in Europe .

Since it is located in the southwest part of the island, Puerto Rico is a great place to stay in Gran Canaria if you want to explore the coast (it's easy to go to either Maspalomas , Playa del Ingles or Puerto de Mogan), as well as the interior of the island, where you can go on hiking trips or simply drive and enjoy the beauty of the mountain roads. 

Puerto Rico is a lively resort with many activities and options to spend your time, so you definitely won't be bored if you decide to base yourself here.

Playa de Puerto Rico is a beautiful beach with lots of bars and restaurants along the front, so it's quick and easy to grab a bite to eat or a coffee.

You'll find also sunbeds, umbrellas and lifeguards on site. 

With fine golden sand and tranquil waters, the beach in Puerto Rico is a perfect beach for families with kids and it's one of our favorite beaches in Gran Canaria to spend a day lounging in the sun.

If you're traveling by car, there are paid parking places close to the beach (the price is quite reasonable) but especially during peak season and over the weekend it gets busy, especially after 11 am, so make sure to arrive early if you want to park close to the beach.

There are lots of boat tours you can choose from and it's one of the best things to do while on holiday in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria. You can go on a short 2-3 hours your to try and see dolphins or you can join a more lengthy tour on a luxury catamaran that also includes food and drinks. 

• Dolphin watching cruises
• Luxury catamaran cruises
• Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the activity starts

This is one of the newer attractions in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria, it's modern, and has many brands of clothing and shoes, as well as jewelry. This is an open mall concept, which also has lots of bars and restaurants, so it's a great place to unwind after a "hard" day at the beach. 

Although Palmitos Park is not located in Puerto Rico, in only 30 to 50 minutes you can get there (depending on which mode of transportation you will choose) and you can spend an entire day watching lots of animals, birds, shows, as well as beautiful plants like orchids. 

Palmitos Park is a good place to visit especially for families with kids, as the little ones will enjoy for sure all the park's attractions.

This is a great place to visit in Puerto Rico if you're traveling with your family and you have small children, as they will have the best time at this park. The karting and the splash area are the top favorites for most kids, but there are several other attractions to explore. 

The Angry Birds park is easily accessible by bus. The ticket gives you all-day access to the park, which means that you can come and go as you please throughout the day. The food and drinks inside the park can be pricey, so you can go out for lunch and then come back for a few more hours of fun.

Since Puerto Rico is situated right in middle between Amadores and Anfi del Mar, why not dedicate a day to each of these other resorts to see how you like them?

Getting to Amadores beach is easy even if you decide to walk there, as there's a beautifully paved coastal path that links the two places. It's a lovely stroll that should take less than 1 hour, depending on where you start. You'll be rewarded with beautiful views of the ocean along the way and once you get to Amadores you can spend the day at the beach or you can wander around, bar hopping and sampling cocktails and beers.

Open plan shopping center, with lots of bars and restaurants, that get quite lively in the evenings especially. You will also find lots of shops to buy anything from clothing to souvenirs, and it's a family-friendly place as well, with several all-you-can-eat buffet-style Chinese restaurants, pubs, pizza restaurants and more.

Discover Gran Canaria from a different perspective on a buggy drive along some of the island's adventurous roads. Marvel at the impressive natural landscapes of Fataga. Enjoy panoramic views of the Ayagaures Valley and its surrounding mountains in a  90-kilometer buggy drive through the southern half of Gran Canaria.

• Includes pickup from various resorts and towns in the south
• Drinks included
• Free cancellation up to 24 hours before activity starts

As we previously mentioned, Anfi del Mar is located very close to Puerto Rico and it's quick and easy to drive there, or, if you don't have a car rental, you can just take a cheap taxi or hop on the bus.

Anfi del Mar is a really beautiful and relaxing place, and the beach there is gorgeous, so it's a great place to spend an entire day there, enjoying the water, the views and all the facilities. So if you're looking to change it up a bit without traveling too far from Puerto Rico, Anfi del Mar is probably your best choice for a lovely beach day in the south of Gran Canaria.

Playa de Amadores is one of the most popular beaches in the south of Gran Canaria and although it is an artificial beach, it is an attraction for tourists and residents alike, who come here to enjoy the beautiful golden sand and turquoise water.

You can easily walk to Playa de Amadores on the coastal promenade as we mentioned before, or you can also come by bus or drive here as there is a huge car park right next to the beach (and it's free).

The Maspalomas dunes should definitely be on your list of things to see, especially if it's your first time holidaying in Gran Canaria. 

The dunes deserve at least a half-day trip so that you can have time for a walk, as well as for spending time on the beach. The dunes are also great at sunset when the view from Faro de Maspalomas is really incredible on clear days.

Golfing is one of the top reasons why many people visit the Canary Islands , so if you fall into that category, you'll be glad to know there's a good golf course very close to Puerto Rico.

You can even stay in one of the villas located on the grounds of the golf course, which will be really convenient if this is the main purpose of your holiday in Gran Canaria. But the unique thing about this golf course is the fantastic view it offers, which is really unbeatable and you'll definitely want to come back. 

If you want to visit Puerto Mogan , our recommendation is to hop on the regular ferry operated by Lineas Salmon which does several daily trips between Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogan.

It's a quick and beautiful boat trip and it's much quicker than taking the bus.

Puerto Mogan is one of the prettiest places to visit on the island, also known as the Venice of Gran Canaria, so it's worth a visit if you want to explore new towns.

6 Things to do in the Southwest of Gran Canaria: Puerto Rico & Playa Amadores

Six Things to do in the Southwest of Gran Canaria: Puerto Rico & Playa Amadores

It’s late February and I’m wrapped in a blanket, sipping my morning coffee and frowning at the weather forecast, another “gray” day lies ahead. Granted, this is still the Canary Islands so we’re talking about a 16° gray day (61°F), nowhere near the snowy winter wonderlands that keep giving me the chills over social media. But what can I say, I’m a California-raised-Canary-Islands-convert.

I don’t do winter.

It’s no secret that in general I prefer the north of Gran Canaria to the more touristic south. Verdant green banana plantations, historic white washed villages, a bustling capital city and hidden, black sand beaches are just a few of the things that keep me from following the sun south. But this year we’ve been dealt a relatively wet and chilly February in Las Palmas, so the bottom half of the island has been looking increasingly appealing.

A few phone calls later and it’s settled. No soups and sweaters today, instead we’ll be migrating to the sunnier skies on the southwest coast – Puerto Rico and Playa Amadores to be precise.

Top 6 Things to do Around Puerto Rico & Playa Amadores

We arrived at about noon and sure enough, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the thermometer marked a solid eight degrees higher than at Las Canteras Beach in Las Palmas. We hopped off the bus in Puerto Rico but seeing the thick mobs of sun worshippers already splayed out on the sand, we made the quick 15-minute trek over the Paseo Maritimo (see below) to more peaceful Playa Amadores.

As much as I tend to bemoan the overly-touristic south, I’m always surprised at how much I enjoy my time here every now and then. There really is plenty to do – from basic beaching to luxury spas and all the water sports you can imagine. Plus, sweet sunshine.

Here are a few of my top picks for the best ways to spend a day in the south of Gran Canaria.

1. Go for a Dip or a Dive

I know, I know, it’s pretty obvious, but the cerulean water is so clear and refreshing it’s impossible to put this anywhere other than number one on the list.

After stretching out on the white sand beneath the sizzling sun, a dip in the inviting water is not only inevitable, but required for any trip to the south.

If you’re looking for more than just a doggy paddle, the clear, turquoise waters are perfect for spotting colorful creatures under the sea. If you’re living in Gran Canaria, a simple snorkel mask is a wise investment of about 20 bucks, otherwise you can rent one from any of the local scuba diving shops, of which there are plenty.

2. Cool off with a Cold One

There’s no shortage of bars and restaurants wrapped around the sandy coves of the beaches in Puerto Rico and Amadores. I can’t recommend a specific place to eat as we typically pack a bocadillo and some snacks for beach day picnicking, but a cheeky cerveza always does the trick when the late afternoon sun leaves you parched.

Prices can be a bit hit or miss here and range anywhere from 2 – 5 bucks for a pint, so always look for a sign with an advertised price or ask the waiter before having a seat.

3. Take a Stroll Along the Paseo Maritimo

Puerto Rico and Playa Amadores are connected by a lovely walkway that wraps around the side of a cliff with perfect panoramic views of the Atlantic (and if you’re lucky, Tenerife’s Mt. Teide in the background).

The short walk only takes about 15 minutes from one beach to the next, and offers plenty of great views and benches to sit down and soak it all in.

Along the path you’ll find the somewhat hidden entrance to the luxurious Gloria Palace Thalasso & Hotel , where a trip to the rooftop bar is a must for any visit to Amadores. More on that below.

4. Dolphin & Whale Watching Trips

I have long been an advocate against Loro Park and the rest of the animal parks prisons. It’s 2018 and there really is no excuse for supporting these businesses with so much available information on the cruelty involved. The award-winning documentary Blackfish calls out Tenerife’s Loro Park specifically and I highly recommend seeing it if you haven’t already.

But aside from education and common human decency, WE’RE ON AN ISLAND! It’s beyond me why anyone would choose to watch a captive creature do flips for food in a tiny pool when they’re already doing them freely with their happy families just a few hundred meters off shore.

You can often find great deals on Groupon, or a simple google search will help you plan a trip that suits your group – some even include lunch and/or cocktails!

5. Get on a Boat!

There are plenty of varied boat excursions (not to mention waterskiing and jet skiing) to be taken advantage of in Puerto Rico – it’s a port, after all. From pirate ships to wine tasting catamaran trips, there is truly something for everyone.

Though I can’t recommend any first hand, I’ve heard great things about the trips hosted by Afrikat , including a sunset tour with live music which sounds like it would be right up my alley.

6. Enjoy a Luxury Sunset on the Rooftop Bar at Gloria Palace Amadores Thalasso & Hotel

I’m a connoisseur of terraces that offer spectacular sunsets, and Gloria Palace Amadores Thalasso & Hotel is perhaps my top pick in Gran Canaria.

As you stroll along the walkway between Puerto Rico and Amadores, you’ll notice a single shop, which appears to be a simple ice cream parlor. Step in, however, and you’ll notice another door at the back that takes you to the entrance of the Gloria Palace hotel and spa.

View this post on Instagram #xinxin 🥂🍾🌅 A post shared by Erica | Get Lost! 🌍✈️✌ (@getup_getout_getlost) on Mar 17, 2018 at 12:16pm PDT

Gliding up in the glass elevator, you can stop at one of the two bar terraces to enjoy a drink with a view. The best time to visit is at golden hour, when you can catch a front row seat to watch the sun dip down into the sea.

Aside from being a 4 star hotel with 2 incredible rooftop bars boasting panoramic views and a restaurant that’s said to be to die for, Gloria Palace is also a spa and offers a long menu of treatments to soothe and serenade your sorrows away.

Getting to Puerto Rico & Playa Amadores

Las palmas to the south.

From Las Palmas, it’s not difficult to reach Puerto Rico by car or bus. Like any trips within the island, driving is faster, but buses are not incredibly inconvenient.

Las Palmas to the South By Bus

Global Bus 91: Las Palmas de G.C to Puerto de Mogán (direct).

On weekdays, the bus costs a whopping €18.00 round trip from San Telmo (I know. Not worth it. 🙄), but on weekends, round trip fare is offered for half price at €9.00. To take advantage of the deal, you must buy your RT ticket at the vending machine just outside of the Global ticket office.

If travelling by bus, the key is to stick to the direct line and not use alternative option (like Global Bus 1), or your commute time will (literally) double.

Las Palmas to the Southwest By Car

As with anything on the island, the fastest and easiest way to travel is by car and Las Palmas to Puerto Rico takes just under an hour. Be warned though, parking can be a bit of a disaster on the weekends unless you get an early start. Plus, you’ll have to limit your caña intake beneath that sizzlin’ southern sun.

LPA Airport to the South

If you’re arriving on a flight and making a B-line for the south, there are plenty of options from LPA International Airport, including bus, taxi, car hire and shuttle services. Your hotel may also offer transport, so be sure to check with them first.

LPA to Puerto Rico By Bus

Global Bus 91 departs from the airport  once an hour from 6:00 until 21:00 and stops in Arguineguín, Puerto Rico, Playa de Amadores, Playa del Cura, and Puerto de Mogán. It takes under an hour to reach Puerto Rico.

From 21:00 to 6:00, you can take Global Bus 1 , but it can take nearly two hours.

LPA to Puerto Rico By Car

There are plenty car rental services at LPA airport, so if you plan to hire a car for your stay, picking it up here is the most convenient option. Driving from LPA to Puerto Rico should take about 40 minutes.

LPA to Puerto Rico By Taxi or Shuttle Service

Taxi is the most expensive option, and an unnecessary additional cost as there are more affordable shuttle options you can book in advance.

I hesitate to recommend a specific company as I’ve never used a shuttle service for this commute, but a quick google search shows that you should be able to book return service for about €15.00.

Do you love to soak up the sun in Puerto Rico, or do you prefer the dessert-like dunes of Maspalomas? Are you more into the laid-back vibes of the north, or do you like getting down and dirty in the all-inclusives in the south? I’d love to hear about it in the comments below!

Staying on the beach with a cold beer sounds like the perfect plan!

Definitely not a bad way to pass an afternoon 😉

A very detailed post, well done 🙂 I also love your photography your photos are amazing, sounds like you had a lovely time!

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂

We will be at Gran Csnaria this November! Hope the weather is good enough for all those 6 things!!!

Excellent! Where will you be staying? I’m somewhat of a Gran Canaria expert (especially the north!) so I’d be happy to give you any pointers!

Beautiful photos, Thank you for the detailed post. Bookmarking it for future travels!

Like Liked by 1 person

Excellent, I hope you make it soon!

I love how in most of the photos of you there was a cold beverage 😉 My kinda gal! A really detailed post, I especially loved the dolphin and whale watching, and a cold bevvie on the beach. The info on the transport options was really helpful too

Haha, guilty as charged! It was my partners birthday that weekend, so I’ll use that as an excuse 😉

This is really well written! We’re about to get a big snow storm here in Virginia, so reading this made me want to visit the islands more than I already did haha

Word on the street is that Norwegian airlines might be starting to fly New York to Gran Canaria direct, so maybe you’ll find yourself here sooner than you know 😎

Looks like a lovely place to visit (we’re stuck in the 40’s here in Michigan)! All great suggestions too 🙂

Brrrrr, 40s in March?! I’m such a wimp when it comes to winter!

I could do with that sun and sand right now. I’m from Australia and now in California and I’m not a huge fan of winter either. I can take it in small doses, but by this time of the year I’m looking to escape. I’d love a trip to south west Gran Canara right now.

Same, an occassional holiday in a cold destination is ok every now and then, but day to day I’ll stick with the sunshine!

I’ve been to Lanzarote and Tenerife but not yet to Gran Canaria. I love the green banana plantations of the Canary Islands. Your shots are awesome and I would like to sunbathe there now:) I need the sun

Ugh sun, don’t we all! The great part of the islands is that they’re all quite different, so each one has a totally different vibe and landscape. Come back and check it out! 🙂

These pictures are amazing! I’m suddenly considering going here

Thank you 🙂 Come on over!

Beautiful! Would like to go someday!!

I hope you make it!

I had no idea there was another Puerto Rico in Spain – and this place looks phenomenal! I would love to do the whale & dolphin watching, or take in a sunset on a rooftop! Hope you enjoyed your time over there!

Whale watching and rooftop sunsets are always a good thing! 🙂

Getting on a boat, lying down with a chilled beer under the blue sky sounds like the perfect plan. 🙂 Though I would also whale watch 🙂 wonderfully penned!

Those two things together would be an absolute dream come true! I was lucky to have an experience like that in Tenerife (Canary Islands) last year and I’ll never forget it!

All great thing to do. Canaria islands are so close (i live in Portugal), i need to exploe some more. So far, i´ve been in Lanzarote only.

Lanzarote is the only one I’ve left to visit! I’m hoping to make it soon, and I hope you can make it to more of our “Islas Afortunadas” 🙂

I’m definitely missing summer now after reading this! I love Spain, and never hesitate to visit. Love Gran Canaria too, and your photos make me want to go now!

Come on over! Today we’ve got nothing but blue skies and beach vibes 🙂

Another one here! I hate winter and winter destinations. I´m from Portugal but i only visited Lanzarote. Gran Canaria is not far away, i need to go there

I had no idea whale and dolphin watching was possible in Gran Canaria!! Amazing! There are always super cheap flights from uk to here during Winter, I think next year I should definitely look into getting some winter sun!

Yes! I’ve done a couple of whale watching trips off the southern coasts of Tenerife and Gran Canaria and both times we’ve seen SO MUCH wild life, I highly recommend it! You can even find groupons sometimes for reduced prices. Many people see Gran Canaria as a sort of all-inclusive tourist haven, but there really is a whole other level to it for those that are willing to stay outside of the resort areas and really explore the island 🙂

Yeah honestly that’s what’s put me off for so many years – I’m definitely not an all-inclusive kind of person. But now I’m intrigued and so tempted to book a flight!

Thanks for sharing great list on things to do in Gran Canaria, will deffo have to add this destination to my list of places to visit, as I love wildlife this would be a top place for me to visit.

Wow! Gran Canaria has so many things to offer. Hope more people will be able to visit the island. Thanks for sharing such a detailed post!

No one wants to miss the ocean view

What is the first thing you see this morning when you jump out of bed? The ocean? Is it the blue sea laid out on the floor like wall-to-wall carpeting? Is it an extension of waves reaching the harbour amidst motorboats, blue marlin fishing boats, and dolphin-watching vessels?

If your answer is Yes, the chances are you are staying in Puerto Rico, in the south of Gran Canaria, one of Europe’s spots that attracts the largest number of obstinate people? Did we say obstinate?

We sure did. We mean those who are determined to watch the sea entering through the window as they make coffee every morning; determined to sunbathe even in the middle of December; determined to see the first light of day with the sea at the foot of the bed. No one in Puerto Rico wants to miss the ocean view.

There are also those determined to spend the whole day in Puerto Rico in  swimming attire round the clock, going to bed at whatever time, pushing  absolutely everything to do with their office, workmates, neighbours,  or even their car, to the back of their minds.

You can blame all this on the superb weather enjoyed in Puerto Rico practically all year, with a gentle sun that seems never to leave this small valley in the south of Gran Canaria, its beach, or the apartments and hotels spread around the cliffs. 

This mild sun that shines overhead for twelve months of the year (winter, summer, holidays, you name it!). This same mild sun that has turned the small beach of Puerto Rico and its neighbouring beach of Amadores into one of the spots with the finest weather in the whole of Spain.

Holidays in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a stunning area in Gran Canaria with a sheltered port and harbor area, lying west of Playa del Ingles. Only 20 minutes drive apart, the two resorts could hardly be more different and holidays in Puerto Rico are just as enjoyable, despite being so different this is just one of the factors that make holidays to Gran Canaria so popular.

Whilst Playa del Ingles is wild and vibrant, Puerto Rico Gran Canaria is much more laid back and relaxing. That is not to say it's dull. Far from it! Even though the pace is slightly more leisurely, the resort still has plenty of nice restaurants with local and international cooking, lots of shops and bars, and a good commercial center. Protected as if sitting in the palm of low mountains, the resort is a calm curve of glistening sea populated by a busy marina, filled with colorful and opulent sailing craft.

Holidays in Puerto Rico are tailor-made for sun lovers as the beach is beautifully sandy and soft (albeit man-made) and is a favorite haunt for watersports. It's perfect for windsurfing, sailing, pedaloes, and waterskiing and, of course, lying prone under a warm sun is permitted too! Puerto Rico enjoys a high volume of repeat business, a testament to its laid-back ambiance and friendly, warm atmosphere.

You can fly directly into Las Palmas airport and take a transfer to Puerto Rico which takes around 45 minutes. If you want to take a taxi directly to Puerto Rico it can cost around €50. Book your Gran Canaria holiday today with Click&Go Holidays!
