Playa del Ingles History

Playa del Inglés is a popular tourist destination located on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands in Spain. The area has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century, when it was just a small village with a few houses and a handful of residents.

The name Playa del Inglés, which means "Englishman's Beach" in Spanish, is said to have originated from a group of English tourists who visited the area in the 1960s. They were among the first foreign visitors to discover the village's beautiful beaches and warm climate, and their presence helped to establish Playa del Inglés as a popular tourist destination.
