The dunes of Maspalomas are a well-known spot in the south of Gran Canaria, Spain. They can be extremely hot during the day and still extremely cold once the sun has set, but it's still a stunning experience to cross them and they offer lots of great opportunities for photographers.

Photography Tips

Pay attention to the wind, the sand is very dangerous for cameras and lenses! Never change lenses here and if you use a zoom lens, choose one with internal zoom. You will experience heavy sand storms here. After your visit, clean all your gear immediately.
