It was formerly part of Galdar. This is where Lujan Perez grew up. He was the most famous architect and sculptor to come from the islands. The busy, steep cobbled streets, pretty painted houses and the tree lined main square are just part of a visit to this lovely mountain town. Guia is one of those places where it is best to ignore vehicles, pushchairs, shops and people at usual height, but instead focus just above head height. There you will be amazed to see richly adornment balconies and terraces, carved ornamental wooden structures, highly decorative and impressive structures where it is clear that money was no barrier to obtaining quality workmanship. It is easy to lose yourself in a world full of colour and cheerfulness that will take you back to the former splendour of the municipality. The story of Guia began when Don Sancho built a church in honour of Santa Maria de Guia (Saint Mary of Guia). Construction of the church was completed in 1509, and this marked the emergence of Guia as a new town. Inside the church you'll see some of Perez's most important works. In fact, it's more like a museum dedicated to the sculptor than a church. The town is most famous for its flower cheese or Queso de Flor. It's made from sheep and goats milk as well as thistle flowers. It's absolutely delicious. It has a surprisingly distinctive flavour and has won numerous awards. Every year they hold a cheese festival in honour of this unique speciality.

Now, Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity is pleased to welcome you to this luxurious resort, the only one in the Canary Islands which has two 18 holes golf courses.

Luxury villa for sale in Maspalomas. The property is built on a large area of 1900 m2, on 2 levels, and is divided as follows: The stunning residence features a spectacular entrance with a fountain, large lobby, a very large living room with painted ceiling and fireplace, Marble floors in all rooms - 7 bedrooms en suite, guest toilet, dressing room, separate kitchen, a second Lounge with fountain. Spacious basement, laundry room, various terraces, large swimming pool with waterfall, thalassotherapy pool, pavilion with outdoor kitchen, 6 pitches, a communication system connecting all the rooms, fantastic beautiful outdoor area with garden! Nestled at a golf course, this house is really a dream come true. Maspalomas - Campo Internacional - Campo de Golf Here you will find a land strip with 17 km of wonderful coastline with sand dunes, wide, sandy beaches, shallow waters and an excellent all year-round climate. This is a paradise for beach lovers and family holidays. The upmarket Maspalomas resort, with smart hotels, luxury residences and the largest golf course on the island, is separated from Playa del Ingles by a spectacular stretch of dunes, which have been declared natural protected area, allowing only the crossing on foot and on camels. These dunes provide a habitat for several rare plant species, some of which are only to be found in the Canaries, having managed to survive in this arid environment. Just down the hill from the larger resort of Playa del Ingles is the quieter option of Maspalomas. Separated from the sea by the spectacular dunes, the low-level accommodation set amongst quiet streets and around the golf course makes for a relaxing holiday. The most striking feature of Maspalomas is the Dunes Natural Reserve which is a natural barrier between most of the resort and the ocean. From certain angles you can imagine that you are in the middle of the Sahara. Probably the best and most accessible view of the Dunes is to be had by walking to the end of Avenida de Tirajana in Playa del Ingles and passing under the arch of the Riu Palace Hotel. At the end of the road you will find a viewing platform where boards are on display providing information about the area and its wildlife. The Dunes eventually give way to a large area of scrubland interspersed with palm trees and low shrubs. For those liable to be offended, be aware that this is normally a favored destination for those who enjoy sex outdoors. At the far end of the Dunes area, you will find a large freshwater lagoon, La Charca, which is also protected due to the numbers and variety of wildlife it attracts. There is no promenade as such on the beach due to the dunes, so you will have to contemplate a long walk to get to the ocean or take the easy way out and get a taxi. Most of the accommodation in the resort consists of self-catering bungalow or low-level apartment complexes set in their own grounds with swimming pools. If your preference is for a higher level of service and more luxury, there is also big villas for sale in the Maspalomas Golf area or you will have to consider neighboring Meloneras or Playa del Ingles.
