YUMBO Centre Playa Del Ingles
www.cc-yumbo.com
204 shops on four floors!
The YUMBO is one of the greatest and most well-known shopping and leisure centers on the island of Gran Canaria. More than 200 shops, pubs and bars, service and tradecompanies as well as the many small stands of the “travelling hawkers” create an international atmosphere enjoyed by our visitors. In addition to everyday necessities the YUMBO offers you a wide and selected range of fashion, jewellery, accessories and electric goods.
The multitude of nations is very clearly represented by the restaurants and, many individually designed and lovely furnished bars invite you to have a fresh beer or enjoy a delicious cocktail. All over the year the YUMBO not only presents numerous small attractions, but also big events. Every spring the famous Carnival of Maspalomas makes the YUMBO become the stronghold of the Carnival Celebrations. But actually the YUMBO is always a bit of a mad-house … We are looking forward to seeing you!

Spirit of the Sea Whale & Dolphin Cruises
Maspalomas, Puerto Rico or Puerto Mogan
Transfer from your hotel (Maspalomas area only) to Puerto Rico where you will be welcomed on board the Spirit of the Sea. Your two hour cruise is designed to look out for the local aquatic wildlife, and your skipper is in constant contact with other boats for the latest sightings. The Spirit of the Sea is a purpose built dolphin search boat with silenced engines to enable it to get closer to the wildlife, and there are large glass bottom windows in both keels with enough room for 30 people in each glass bottom. If you have never seen dolphins before this can be a wonderful experience taking in the views of the south of Gran Canaria there are dolphins in the waters of Gran Canaria all year round and as the waters around the canaries are not heavily fished there is a great diversity of cetaceans and other sea creatures.
What can you hope to see? Bottle Nose dolphins or small groups of Rough-Toothed dolphins, Striped and Common dolphins. Sometimes the boat is surrounded by Atlantic Spotted dolphins. You may also spot Pilot whales and the rare Beaked whales. At certain times of the year, large whales such as Finback, Sei and Sperm whales pass through the area. Loggerhead turtles are also commonly found. 2 hour trips from 25€ pp.
