Tell a different story back home!
The camel rides through the dunes are historical, the buggy rides deep into the valleys are a lot of fun and the banana boat rides are absolutly crazy. But that's what EVERYONE does. Be different!
Go on a journey through time and meet a different side of the touristic south. You will have plenty of stories about Maspalomas to tell, once back home.

Instashopping, Foodporn & Locationscout.
We will visit very unique stores and dinner and cafe places. At the end of this tour we might have drunk up to 4 coffees, ate several pieces of fresh cake and i congratulate you to your new vintage lamp, the beautiful dress made by a local brand or the 70s typewriter that fits nicely into your office back home, but not that easy into your luggage. You will hate me!

Walking the dead malls.
Most Maspalomas malls had its glamour time decades ago and many of them are now considered "lost places" either because they are more or less abandoned or not secure enough.
Let's become a Holiday-Zombie in these lost spaces and learn about those that are awesome at day and under any circumstances should be visited at night unless you are open for adventures! These spots are perfect for people interested in architecture or design as the tour will be like a journey through the history of construction and design of Maspalomas. Let's visit them now, before they are gone!

OMG! WTF?
Experience up close how tax money is burned and see with your own eyes how investments from the private sector fizzle out because the whatever-form is missing or does not exist at all, or simply because someone does not like how you look like. We will see fail investments, more or less lost places and misused public money.

Telling friends or family back home about the things you discover on this tour, their answer will be the same: "Photo or it did not happen!".

35109 - Behind the curtain.
The rapid growth of touristic complexes over the past 50 years has geographically led to an expansion of Maspalomas, albeit without a city center that has been growing naturally over decades.
There is not a kind of downtown, only towns and villages that once existed to serve as accommodation for the temporary plantation workers and today belong to the outskirts of Maspalomas.
One of the oldest and for many decades important of these villages in the south is El Tablero, originated on a plateau in the northern part of Maspalomas.

On this tour you will not only learn historical things like the history of the "Taxi Piratas", the value of cultivated land compared to the beach or the first cinemas in Maspalomas, but also get an insight into the daily life of the almost 7,000 inhabitants of El Tablero.

If his health allows, the 70+ year old Juan Carlos Vega Valeron with his "Tiles of time" project will accompany us on a small part of this tour.

It's a family affair.
If you brought your fabulous kids to this splendid vaction, they can join the journey as the tour can be adapted so that they enjoy it too. Nevertheless it is important to mention that the length and spots of the journey then depends on your kid's fitness an patience. But as the guide is a father too, the goal is to make the whole event as exciting for your kids as possible. Because if they get annoyed, parents get annoyed. So we work hard on avoiding this and make this fun for the whole family.
