Maspalomas, Coastal resort in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Spain.

The Maspalomas coastline extends from Bahía Feliz to Meloneras, incorporating San Agustín, Playa del Inglés, and San Fernando districts along 12 kilometers of beachfront.

The Maspalomas lighthouse construction started in 1861 and required 28 years to complete, finally beginning operations to guide steamships in February 1890.

The winter season brings numerous northern European visitors who contribute to the international character of restaurants, entertainment venues, and local festivities.

The area contains private medical facilities, educational institutions, retail centers, sports complexes, and theme parks, making it suitable for both short visits and extended stays.

The protected natural dune reserve spans 400 hectares and encompasses three distinct ecosystems: the Palmeral palm grove, the Charca lagoon, and the Dunas sand formations.
