Puerto Rico, one of Gran Canaria’s most popular family resorts situated at the mouth of a large valley, is our next stop. Once a small fishing port, the Puerto Rico of today is swamped with hotels and apartments, built on the terraces of the steep slopes rising from the coastline, fortunately brightened up with lush greenery to please the eye.
Bustling and overcrowded during high season, Puerto Rico can be very nice and quiet in low season. It has a small but beautiful beach, covered with sand from the Sahara, where space is rare and sun beds are even lined up on a jetty. Set back from the beach, in a lush tropical garden with exotic plants and flowers you will find two public swimming pool lidos. Renowned to be the sunniest spot of the island, this holiday resort is a true paradise for sun worshippers.
Puerto Rico is also known for the many water sports activities it is offering, ranging from jet-skiing, sailing, diving, big game fishing and windsurfing to leisure excursions such as pleasure boat trips along the coast, dolphin watching cruises or a trip in a glass bottom boat to discover the world under the water surface.
Other ‘off-beach’ attractions include golf courses, a water park featuring all kinds of entertainment for young and old and an attractive shopping centre nearby.
Puerto Rico also boasts a nice harbour and it is renowned as a sailing centre, members of its clubs having already achieved five Olympic medals. Deep-sea fishing is also at its greatest here, proof of which are more than fifty world records claimed by fishermen setting out from this port.
