A unique and particular area

Playa del Inglés was an extensive area dedicated mainly to agriculture, growing cereals such as barley and wheat.

 

The transformation of this agricultural area into a tourist destination began to take shape due to its strategic location and aroused the interest of investors from 1962, the year in which an ambitious urbanisation project initially known as Llanos del Inglés was approved.

Canary Islands, a desert of colors and textures

The name Playa del Inglés has a curious origin. Historically, this bay was used by the English to land on the island from the end of the 16th century. The frequent arrival of English ships on these shores meant that, in 1599, the local residents mistook an incursion by the Dutch navy commanded by Admiral Van Der Does for a British attack on the island.

 

Since then, it has been the main tourist centre of the island, attracting millions of visitors every year. Playa del Inglés offers a wide range of leisure, culture and sporting activities, and is famous for its warm and sunny climate all year round.
