Introducing Península de Jandía
Most of the Península de Jandía is protected by its status as the Parque Natural de Jandía. The southwest is a canvas of craggy hills and bald plains leading to cliffs west of Morro Jable. Much of the rest of the peninsula is made up of dunes, scrub and beaches.

Somewhere along this peninsula, it is said, German submarine crews used to hole up occasionally during WWII. You think these beaches are paradise now? Just imagine them with not a single tourist, not one little apartment block; only you and your mates from the U-boat!
According to other stories, Nazi officials passed through here after the war to pick up false papers before heading on to South America. One version of the story even has hordes of Nazi gold buried hereabouts – so bring your bucket and spade.
