Continuing with your tour of Gran Canaria's natural side, you'll next visit the Maspalomas Botanical Gardens in Avenida Neckermann, where you'll be amazed at the more than five hundred different species of plants that flourish in this extraordinary park. Spot banana trees, aloe vera, the cactus known locally as "tunera", and more!
You'll then reach the "green lungs" of Maspalomas: Parque Sur, or South Park. Located nearby, you'll find the San Fernando Municipal Market, where you'll take a well-earned break to discover the incredible range of local produce and artisan delicacies for which Gran Canaria is famous.
