    In episode 3, we take the walk from Puerto Rico neighbouring Playa de Amadores in Gran Canaria.
    We take you along the promenade from Puerto Deportivo taking in the scenery along the elevated coastal walk to Amadores.
    Once we get to the beach, we show you the selection of beach front restaurants and shops on offer. Everything is there for you to spend a day by the seaside. The waters are calm and safe .
    We then take in a snack at Portofino's restaurant up towards the Amadores Beach club. We review the food in there before moving on to the beach club. We show you the prices of admission if you chose to try something different away from the beach.
    We decide to take up a spot on the beach and relax in the sun and sea.
    The following evening, we walk back along the promenade to take in the beautiful sunset and feed cucumber to the lizards on the rocks. We then take some time to take in the sunset.

    Thanks for the video. I think the sand is that consistency because it’s mixed with silicone to prevent it becoming too hot under foot. You will see other beaches the sand is very hot.

    Been there 22 times now... I was wondering... do you need permissions to fly & record with a drone? I was there with my son in May '23 ( Gloria Palace PR) and took my drone to film but was unsure about local regs so didn't try. That area that was closed off, was a busy diving and "jumping-into-the-sea" spot for tourists and locals back in the 80's and I spent many days of my holidays there waiting for the swell of the tide, then diving in! Sadly...a couple of tourist lost their lives and its been cordenned off for a number of years now. The only way to reach it was to walk along the shoreline from PR because that walkway hadn't been built... neither had the resort of Ammadores. Fond memories of when I was a bullet-proof 20yr old in the 80's showing off to the ladies by showing my diving prowess from that exact spot! Great videos BTW and maybe meet you in a restaurant in downtown PR shopping centre sometime! Booked for May 2024.😎

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  Před 9 měsíci

      Hi David, thanks for lovely comments and your experiences in PR. We've had quite a few stories from people since we did these and it's great to hear how others have enjoyed the resort over the years.
      Never experienced any issues with the drone, as long as you aren't flying near airports or any military bases you should be OK. I do always try to fly it away from crows/people and stuff too though.

      You can actually do both. It only takes about 20 minutes to walk along from PR and its a nice walk.

    Stayed In Amadores 4 year ago we always do the walk along the wall its beautiful. Is the homeless man still there with his dog . The lady at the 60c toilets wouldn't let me go in with my daughter unless I paid as well . She has a fear of getting locked in . I was a bit miffed 😒

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  Před rokem +1

      Hi Lynn, thanks so much for watching.
      Yeah we saw the homeless guy every night near the angry birds adventure park.
      That's a bit wrong with the toilets mind. I don't agree with having to pay to go at the best of times, would rather give that money to a local bar or restaurant to be honest.
      Yeah it's a beautiful walk along to Amadores, especially at sunset. We were lucky to get a lovely clear evening when we walked along.
