Palmitos Park is set in twenty hectares of a palm-filled valley just inland from Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles. It started as an exotic bird park but now has everything from komodo dragons to dolphins. Palmitos is a great day out for adults and kids and even when it's full there's plenty of room for everyone.

The most popular attractions at the park are its bird and dolphin shows. From performing parrots to exotic birds and eagles, it's worth timing your trip to take in as many of them as possible. Click here to see the times of each show.

Palmitos Park takes several hours to walk around if you stop for the shows and is a full day out. There's plenty of places to buy food and drink along the route.

Entry costs around 30 euros per adult although you can save by going up the valley on the blue buses (line 45 from Bahia Feliz, San Agustín, Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas: Line 70 from Puerto Rico, Arguineguin and Maspalomas. Another way to save is with a joint ticket to Palmitos Park and the Aqualand water park.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
