I take a walk from Playa Del Ingles to Maspalomas and go in search for the best restaurants and bars.
If you’re asking yourself one of the following questions…
Where are the best restaurants in Playa Del Ingles and Maspalomas Gran Canaria?
Where are the best beaches in Playa Del Ingles and Maspalomas Gran Canaria?
Where are the best places to go in Playa Del Ingles and Maspalomas Gran Canaria?
Where are the cheapest restaurants in Playa Del Ingles and Maspalomas Gran Canaria?
Where is the cheapest beer n Playa Del Ingles and Maspalomas Gran Canaria?
Is Gran Canaria better than Tenerife?
Then press play and come with me on a journey along the promenade from Playa Playa del Inglés to Maspalomas.

Been to both islands 6 or 7 times and los cristianos is the place for me nice and quiet top of the hill but a nice stroll in plenty to see and do
Love Los Cristianos. ❤️
I've been tenerife a couple of times, and gran Canaria twice, I'll only be going back to gran caneria now it's a fantastic place, hope you can check out Puerto rico and playa de amadores, Great vlog 👌
Coming in the next few vlogs. 👍🏼👍🏼🎥☀️🎬
your videos are brilliant mate, takes me right back...
Great walk and beautiful images of Playa del Inglés!! Enjoy my island :-)
Thank you. 😎
@@TheMacMaster You're welcome!
Love your videos as always. Been going to GC for the last 11 years. Glad your doing a vlog and looking forward to your comparison.
Thank you. 👍🏼 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing Lee, Absolutely gorgeous fantastic!! Will definitely take a visit🌞🌈
Thank you. 😎
this video brings so much memories, nice to see what the old "normal" looks like
Love this series so far. Any plans on doing any of the other Canary Islands Fuerteventura or Lanzarote. Not sure what I'm thinking of Gran Canaria yet. Tenerife has a special place in my heart.
I love Tenerife. I give a greet analogy in the final episode called Tenerife or Gran Canaria which is best. 😎👍🏼👍🏼😜
Your smashing these vlogs! I can't wait until the next upload. I might go to gran canaria later this year as it the only one of the main islands in the canaries I've not been to.
Thank you. I hire a car and it gets much better. Fell in love with the island.
Just found your Vlog's, great watching. I went to Gran Canaria 25 years ago on my honeymoon, place looks the same.
Great work. Thanks.
Thank you. 👍🏼
Great stuff Lee, you are starting to relax into it more on day 2 by the end of the week you will be buzzing 😎
I was. I did one on Puerto De Mogan. Loved it!!!!! Loved it. ❤️
Watching this vlog again as me and leanne have booked to go maspalmas in September..fingers crossed we will be able to go..don't worry though..we will be off to tenerife in December Lee
Enjoyed the vlog. We like it when you put the camera down facing the sea for a minute or two. We can imagine ourselves there. The beach does look lovely. Looking forward to seeing the Maspalomas dunes 👍👌🌞⛱💕
TV Journeys That vlog is now up. czcams.com/video/U8EAYWKx31k/video.html
@@TheMacMaster thanks, will watch it now! 👍😎🌞
Palmitos Park is definitely worth a day trip, Possible to bus it and also Cocodrilo Park which is not far and the coach picks up from certain points.
Fantastic as always it was a GRANd vlog. There is still so much to see in Gran Canaria. Great ending for the vlog...cheers🍻🍻🍻
Cheers. Thank you. I hire a car in some.of the other episodes and see film some amazing places. One I fell in love with. Puerto De Mogan. ❤️
@@TheMacMaster Puerto De Mogan is a great choice
Visit Kasbah in the early evening. People dancing the chachacha 💃
Another great vlog again, I have only been to Tenerife but we know friends who have been to the other Canary Islands but they always come back to Tenerife so I think I know where my money will be,nice to see another island from your perspective through.
Thank you. 😎👍🏼👍🏼
cactus 2 is in Puerto Rico upstairs in level 2/3 on the right, guy called Paco used to run it... absolutely brilliant guy! our front door keys still has the cactus 2 keyring...32.30
Another great video love the sound of the sea get to the yumbo centen and watch the shows
Dominic Gillespie Cheers. Filmed the Yumbo Centre. It was an eye opener. 😜
Ricky’s cabaret bar and sparkles showbar 🤪
It is a eye opener
Funny I went to Columbus restaurant and it was very good
Nice bars and restaurants at the lighthouse end of Maspolomas!
Alex Stean There is. I filmed a vlog there. Coming soon. 👍🏼
Great vlog lee tenerife still better by miles 😎👍
Thank you. Tenerife is always in my heart. My analogy in the last episode is spot on. 😉
MHT is a fantastic night I've been a few times in Fuerteventura you definitely won't be disappointed. A three course meal and drinks included until the show starts then you pay for the drinks. And transfers are included too.
Thanks. Sounds good. 😊👍🏼👍🏼
That was Fantastic Mac 🏝🌞
Go ahead towards the faro (lighthouse)
I miss there and jealous of you
Thank you. I do in a future episode. 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks and love you Mac 👏
Babak Sadeghi Thank you. 😊
I'm 25 mins in and you've just spotted Annexo where the beach bars are lol.
We did find the sand sculptures in gran canaria where amazing
They were. 😎
Love the vlog yet again another fantastic insight into a very nice place but I get the feeling you like Tenerife much much more, looking forward to more vlogs from your travels especially if you have any on here from Puerto Rico and Puerto de Morgan, I feel that person who didn’t want you to video there menu was out of order as you said don’t go there it might not be very good lol . Hope you found more bars as from our experience of Gran Canaria there are plenty to be found and some very nice ones especially Mary D,s and bar extreem in Puerto Rico, well I hope you had a fab time there pity you had to come home to the weather we’re having at the moment but as I said earlier can’t wait for more fantastic vlogs mate . We hope to bump into you if your abroad when we are and have a few beers and chat . Bye for now keep up the good work.
Hey. Thank you. I went to Puerto Rico and Puerto De Mogan and did some.vloga there. Loved Puerto De Mogan. Amazing. The dunes were amazing too. Another vlog dropping tomorrow. Thank you for watching. I'll be in Tenerife a lot this year. If you see me make sure you say hi and we'll grab a drink. 🍺 😎
That resto that told you off for filming, I went £50 for a seafood pizza and a glass of wine and gave me the runs.. Great not. The staff were really miserable too. I always do lunch at cafe Mozart excellent. There is a hidden gem I discovered. Above annexo II is or was, a superb rooftop pool. You pay for the sunlouger and parasol and its for the whole day, there used to be waiter/waitress service too very very excellent and not expensive but a world away from the hustle and bustle but it looks like it's closed down awe gutted, but hey still another great vlog thank you
Cheers. 😎
i had a problem in the same restaurant last year on my first day i didn't let him spoil gran canaria for me but he did put me in a mood for a few hours never mind him keep smiling good video
Thank you. Crazy thing is. He's on the vlog now. I was filming the menu to advertise them. Oh well. Thanks for watching. 😎
Great vlog, try Taurito not far from there great little water park with a couple of bars ! lol
Cheers. 😎 👍🏼 👍🏼
Gran Canaria es super beautifull
It a very nice place but it's no Tenerife back there this summer parque Santiago 3 I will give you a shout out McMaster when we are there . Great vlog mate from wet and windy Sheffield.
Jason Brooks Cheers. Let's grab a beer 🍺🍺 Or 4. 😆
I've been to Gran Canaria 3 times and have always loved it. I will never go to La Piazza (have never been before) especially after he said you cannot film. What is he trying to hide? lol, normally they pester you as soon as you read the first line of the menu to get you in lol. I will be going to Tenerife for the first time in January 2024 and having seen a number of your vlogs there, I feel I will know my way around as soon as I get there. Thanks Lee!
Another great vlog lee, hope in a future one you manage to get to the Kasbah or Yumbo centre. I’ve said before we’re in Costa Adeje from Tuesday so if you’re there I’ll hopefully say hello.
I made it to the Yumbo Centre. But in the daytime. It was an eye opener. Lol. Am planning to be back in Tenerife in another week. Keep an eye out. 👀 if you see me post I'm on the island. Give me a shout. We'll grab a beer. 🍻
@@TheMacMaster please do Tiggy's bar and any bars with duo's or better still a full band ..we're going to Casta adeje in September and want to watch good entertainment in the bars of an evening ...you're doing a great job sir!!
David Donnelly Thank you. Will do. 👍🏼
Hi Lee Gran Canaria not doing it for me Yet but looking forward to the Dunes,as where I fancy. Maybe later in year you must go to Fuerteventura. Corralejo has lots of restaurants and Bars & the best beaches &dunes in the Canaries.im sure you’ll need another 🍺 after walking in the Dunes. Enjoy. Tony.
Cheers. The dunes vlog will be dropping tomorrow. You'll love it. 😎
Just caught a small shark this week on the first wave barier @3:30, from shore.
Puerto Rico and Puerto Mogan are excellent much better than Tenerife, also the weather in Gran Canaria blows Tenerife apart, it's much sunnier, Tenerife suffers from frequent cloud, GC wins easily
Puerto De Mogan won my heart. ❤️
@@TheMacMaster I'll second Puerto Rico!
I only have one word for your walk , the blue sky , GC and your vlogging ! LOVE ! PS: I will never eat chinese food for 6.95 when i come back there. Its too cheap for good quality and when its bad the holiday might be over. Only beer ;-) cheers Mate! Can´t wait to see you in the Dunes ;-)
You should have had a beer in the Tipsy Hammock, they have live singers on in the afternoon, you walked past it lol.
Never really though of a different canary island. Been going Tenerife for last 28 years.
Know all of our favourite bars/restaurants and parts of the beach etc. Like you say though, maybe it’s just because it’s familiar. I’ll be keeping my eye on these vlogs. Might give it a try in October/November.
Definitely gets better as the series goes on. 😎👍🏼👍🏼
I went to the tropical centre. Amazing restaurants looking out to the sea . You need to go more in land or set back from the front that's where the place comes alive
Thank you. 👍🏼
Tenerife all day long for me done GC twice with a 10 year gap between visits did not feel right for us personally feel the rife more orientated towards UK market imo. We visited Maspalomas to eat couple of times on last visit 2018 and to be honest felt very uncomfortable would never go back to GC.
I thought that GC wasn't as focused or aimed as much at the UK. Totally agree.
I did that exact same walk back in November! Where you took the stairs at the start there's a lovely Chinese restaurant downstairs! Also El Toro bar and grill does, without doubt, the best steak on the island!
Cheers. I'll take a look. 😎
@@TheMacMaster comes out on a sizzling hot plate. It really is first class!
Triptech79 Making me hungry lol.
Me and my boyfriend are going to Gran Canaria Playa Del Ingles next week and have watched all the vlogs and are so excited ❤️❤️
Any good ?
@@brody5211 i was there in 06 it was awesome
Strange place by the looks of things. No bars or restaurants for miles and then everything all crammed in like sardines. Not sure I would want to be eating or drinking in that atmosphere where people are constantly walking past you.
Hi Lee, I noticed you used the yellow and blue cash machines they have scattered around over there. In another vlog I seen with Asa Elliot, a guy who lives in Benidorm talk about these machines and what happens is, each shop installed with one of these machines gets a large percentage off of each time someone accepts these withdrawal fees and withdraws cash. He suggested if you need to withdraw money throughout your holiday to use the BBVA Banks as these do not charge. You probably already know this by now but I just thought I’d bring that to your attention for future reference.
Thank you. I found it out the hard way. 😎
I'm pretty sure the sand in GC is natural (although you could say its imported🙂), it blow in from the Sahara.
I assume you also found the same as i did, you keep walking towards them but they dont seem to get any nearer 😃
Lovely to watch the vlog but still not feeling it we have both said it just doesn't seem to have the same energy as tenerife. Looking forward to seeing the rest though to see if our minds will be changed. That beer was a little on the small side for you Lee 🤣🤣🍺
Lol. It was a small beer. I need a €1 large Tenerife beer. Lol. 😜
@@TheMacMaster I really hope you found one in the end as that would certainly put me and the hubby from going there 🤣🍺🍺🍺🍺🤣 We do love our €1 pints, as soon as we can after landing in tenerife and dropping our bags of, it's off to get our first beer of the holiday in a frozen glass 😁🍺☀️. 155 days to go, still counting down 🤣🙈
Leech Family Love a frozen glass!!!!
I've been there & I really enjoyed my stay in Maspalomas. But according to me, this vacation area IS ONLY for Scandinavia natives or German people. Brits prefer Tenerife ( Thanx to the Mac Master). Signed a Huge French fan of Lee. 😉
Hello There. :0)
We’ve been to Palmitos Park - it’s lovely. Overall I preferred Loro Parque in Tenerife. Think Tenerife a bit better for us with a family as more going on but Gran Canaria was more picturesque. Not seen anywhere quite a pretty as Puerto de Mogan in Tenerife. Tenerife is still my fav though :)
Ahhh keep watching. Puerto De Mogan is in one of the upcoming episodes. 🎥☀️🎬
Beautiful beaches, but I still prefer Tenerife (Costa Adeje) for its waterfront. 🏖🌴
Hmmm, lovely beaches but I’m not keen on the way the bars are all positioned together in the shopping centres. I have to say from these first two vlogs I still prefer Costa Adeje Tenerife, I get the feeling your heart is in Tenerife too. Great vlogs once again👍
❤️Tenerife. 😎. Always. Thanks for watching though. Some good ones coming up. 😊
The MacMaster Can’t wait, your vlogs are getting me through this awful winter 😁👍
Linzylou 2 Lol. Me too I come back to the UK to edit them and can't wait to get back and film again. ✈️🎥☀️🎬
You must visit Jumbo center ! Try out Martel house ! And in Sandia shopping centre Chef Luigi restaurant (end your dinner you will vill have 3 bottles of drinks on your table Free and you can drink how much you can , one bottle rom one brandy and one liquor . Not joking !
tompa lev Thank you. 👍🏼 🍺🍺
Hi there, yes the beaches in Gran Canaria are natural, didn´t have to ship in any sand.... very nice but different form the charming Tenerife
Love Tenerife. Gran Canaria is lovely too. Found some amazing places in the upcoming episodes. 😎
Awesome I don't like how the bars in gran caneria are in shopping centers whats your thoughts 👍
I prefer them on the promenade. However I visit some places that are lovely in later episodes. 🍺
@@TheMacMaster did you get too Puerto Rico by any chance
David Tinsley I certainly did. Made a vlog. Coming soon. 👍🏼
They have a few bars or “kiosks” on the beach you can stop for a beer - although most of it is full of nudists. They have some nice bars on the other side of the dunes too. With you saying they don’t have many bars - get from the beach and head to the shopping centres, kasbah, Yumbo, cita, sandia etc - loads of bars to choose from!!
Thanks. I film at Yumbo and some other resorts in next episodes. 😎🎥☀️🎬👍🏼
Great vlog great music 👍👍
Never been here but doesn't look no where near as nice as tenerife, takes alot of beating (sorry for saying this just my opinion)
Been Puerto Rico which I think is lovely and amadores beach is beautiful 👍😎
Oh and playa de mogan is beautiful 🥰
Thank you. I went to Puerto De Mogan. Loved it. ❤️ Coming soon. 👍🏼
@@TheMacMaster oh can't wait see it then Brill 👍 forgot say how strange that guy didn't want you filming makes you wonder why.. 😎🥰
Denise Bucknall I know. I was only filming his menu. Very strange. Plus he ended up being on it. Lol.
@@TheMacMaster lol I know that's so funny 🤣🤣🤣👍
You should have gone to Puerto Rico and Puerto Mogan, much better up there
Ha. I did. Loved Puerto De Mogan. Coming soon. 🎥🎬
Hello,Tenerife and Gran Canaria are strong rivals,however,nice video
Thank you. 😎👍🏼👍🏼
This second vlog is looking a little better than your first Gran Canaria yesterday but it’s not doing it for me . The Tenerife Buzz is
Missing, much better sandy beaches than Tenerife, will watch the other 10 vlogs to try and get
Gran Canaria
“ A Big Ask” for Tenerife Lovers. Raymundo y Patricia
It gets better as I go along. Promise. 😎
Takes a lot of beating tenerife 🥰🍹
Yet another good vlog mate , I am with you on this "it's not quite tenerife" though to be honest . July can't come quick enough at the moment is all I'm saying . Keep up the good work mate , cheers again 👍
Better weather and cheaper beer in Gran Canaria mate, stopped going to Tenerife got fed up of the cloudy weather
Thank you. 😎
@@markdove442 would you say the wether is all that much different ? The 2 islands are pretty close to each other aren't they .
@@tonywalker5789 yeah they are different weather wise, it's fact between Puerto Rico/Mogan has the best weather in the Canaries as its more shelterd away from the cloud and wind, I've seen it cloudy in Tenerife on those live webcams and beautiful sunshine in Rico/Mogan both at the same time
I'd say less cloudier I think.
Looks sooooo much different to Tenerife! There’s hardly anything there! Was thinking about visiting Gran Canaria next year, but starting to think it might not be such a good idea 😂! Tenerife wins my heart every time!! Can’t wait to return in June!! ✈️🏖🍹
He didn't go up to Puerto Rico and Puerto Mogan both places blow Tenerife apart, Rico/Mogan both have the best sunshine record in the Canaries, never again will I visit Tenerife as the weather is too unpredictable and far too cloudy
Mark Dove Fair enough. Everyone has their own preferences. :)
I go to both those places in future episodes. Puerto De Mogan I fell in love with.
As nice as Gran Canaria looks I think I would stick to Tenerife as there's more bars along the seafront.
There certainly is. 👍🏼
Hi Lee you should of sat in the shade you looked shattered and take it easy xxxx
I know. Wasn't well. Soldiered on though. 😎
I loved that video next time have a hat on to shade you from the sun xxxx
And no more jumping thats what is making you feel terrible and the heat of the sun lol xxxx
Lol. That's my thing 😂 xx
Maybe the guy at the italia thought you were from good eating magazine 😂😂
"NICE ONE PAL "
Cheers. Next one uploading now. 😎🍺
I last went there 1999. I'm sure that McDonalds has moved 😂
Tenerife all day. Seems like miles of walking there with not much around apart from good views 👍
Can't beat a €1 pint 🍺
The MacMaster Of the finest Dorada 😋
1-1.50 euro a pint in Puerto Rico all day all night, only a euro in Tenerife till 6pm 😉
Mark Dove - Thats another half pint in Tenerife 😁.
JAKESY81 lol!! Classic. 😀🍺🍺
Lee, can't fault your videos, however much prefer your Tenerife Vlogs!!
Back filming in Tenerife next week. 👍🏼
Did you see my restaurant recommendation?
I did, thank you. I'm back in the UK now. But will definitely be going back. So will check them out. :) lots more vlogs to come. Managed to film 12 while I was there. Just got to edit them all now. 😊🎬
@@TheMacMaster look forward to watching them all. I've watched the other two twice now! Oh, and consider joining 'The secret curry club' FB page...I know you like a curry 👍
Nigel ooh I'll take a look at that. Love a curry. 😎
In answer to your question, I believe the dunes are natural. They shift several meters every year. You probably spotted all the buldozers and heavy machinery down there they use to keep pushing it back i believe
I did they were amazing. They're in my next vlog. 😎 🎥 ☀️ 🎬
Why didnt you take a bus to arguineguin and puerto rico, only 30 min away
I hired a car. Filmed lots more and went all over. Coming soon. 😎
@@TheMacMaster
Did you try the stair with 800 steps, a very long and hard one,hehe
tom arild undseth I may have done. One almost gave me a heart attack.
@@TheMacMaster Me to, that was on the right side of the puerto rico beach, i forgot water too, so i was dehydrated when i reach the top so the first thing i did was running to the store i the puerto azul an buy 2 bottles the befor we go to the europa center on the top there,.
I was parched. Had to buy water too. Lol. 😆
Natural sand apparently blown in from africa
Thank you. It's amazing.
Let's rock n roll baby....
Grab a beer!!! It's a long one. 👍🏼
@@TheMacMaster wife just opened the prosecco! We were just thinking " will he upload at 6pm again? Then hey presto!! We're rocking, cheers buddy...
spud murphy73 Have one for me. I need a drink. 🍺
Just checked all the comments to see if Joseph left a comment, not yet lol. Nice guy though, better than the first guy.
“Not possible”
“Well, I’m currently filming so it is possible mate”
Also, I commented on a previous video saying about my parents going to Tenerife and enjoying your vlogs, I’ll get to see it myself as I’m tagging along with them in September. If you’re around, we’ll keep an eye out lol
I should be there in September. Make sure you say hi. 👋🏻 Possible. Definitely Possible. Lol. 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Walk to Meloneras through the dunes
I do in tomorrows episode. Don't miss it. 😎
It's just not Tenerife
It certainly isn't. ❤️Tenerife.
So on the whole Gran Canaria is more expensive than Tenerife?
A tad but not by much.
Yes sand is shipped in only black volcano sand in canary’s all other sand shipped in and for views visit Futureventura
Thank you. :)
Can you please say hello to steve Vaughan in your next videoalways follow you
Will do. I've already got a few more filmed. I'll mention you in my first Tenerife episode which I'm filming next week. 🎥☀️🎬👍🏼
Nope, still not feeling it. A lovely view only lasts so long. Miss the 1 euro pint banter of fanabe. How did all the apartments beat all the shops and restaurants to the seafront? Good vlog tho
Can't beat a €1 pint. 🍺 Cheers. 😎
Nooooooooo you used Euronet atm, never use them lol.
Lol. Now you tell me.
Is there any fake items there? Bags
Yes 👍🏼
It does not look as good as Tenerife but great vlog
mrbigsteveo78 Thank you. 👍🏼
Tenerife has to many bars though :)
Well Playa del Ingles has many bars too.
concentrated in CC like Kabah,Plaza, Cita, Yumbo, Chapperall
Kasbah for party people
Cita for the Germans
Yumbo for 🏳️🌈
Chaperral more Dutch oriented. Good for some Heineken and kroketten ( croquettes)
Lots of gay haunts there for you lee
😆
If you want gays, just go to the bars in the evening at the Jumbo center in Playa del ingles, it is alot of them there
this mes was to Staff
Not possible😂😜
Lol. 😂 I know. I'm trying to think of a word to describe him. 😜
Sorry, should have told you, don’t go to Gran Canaria when you can go to Tenerife 😘
Lol. 😂
A lot more busy today why
Went the other way. A lot better. It gets even better in the next episodes 👍🏼
What an absolute hole!
Rude people and run down area. Good vlog though mate.
Cheers. 😎 👍🏼
