Land of the Faros


This says it all!
A really well designed shopping centre themed on a lighthouse, which spirals round the three levels and would look lovely without the huge lettering on each face!
In it is a tourist supermarket with inflated prices, only trash British press, and everything for the wurst and sauerkraut lover.
Upstairs is a restaurant dedicated to Dusseldorf Old Town! Fortunately there are other possibilities - mediocre Chinese, good Tex-Mex, classy Italian, less-classy Italians with limited so-called tapas, and a great grill where we discussed Ruth's Uruguayan experiences with a waitress. What is different from Corralejo is that all customers are treated as tourists with gushing & insincere staff who are amazed at any Spanish and some sharp practices on pricing.
The bike hire shop, though was very good and we had a lot of fun cycling down to the beaches at Maspalomas/Meloneras, and just round the corner is the medical centre which sorted out Ruth's lost filling for about the same price as NHS in UK.
