background

The resort of San Agustín was founded after 1962, when the south coast of Gran Canaria was opened up for tourism. In contrast to its neighbor to the west Playa del Inglés Everything stayed a bit smaller, a bit quieter and more dignified, there are only a few larger hotels, the facilities largely adapt to the landscape. The dark sandy beach reveals its volcanic origin, it looks very well-kept in the bathing bays, but there are stony spots and cliffs on its edges. The average age of tourists in San Agustín is likely to be significantly higher than in the holiday resorts to the west.
