Península de Jandía

Things to do in Península De Jandía

  1. Playa del Mattoral

    The magnificent Playa del Mattoral, stretching eastwards for over 4km from Morro Jable, is great for indulging in a variety of water sports, churning a pedalo or just collapsing on the sand. The beach rarely gets crowded, but for true solitude head for the beaches 7km further east, although they are only accessible with some kind of transport.

    Restaurante Posada San Borondón

    A little more interesting than some, and offering a variety of Spanish food, is this restaurant where the grilled sole touched our soul. It's easy to find, right next to the steamship exterior, complete with portholes and funnels, of Bar Barco.

  3. Thursday market

    This small market is held in a car park due west of the tourist office. With most stalls run by Moroccans, Africans and German dropouts, you'll be lucky to find anything that smacks particularly of the Canaries.

    Magic operates a couple of smart catamarans out of the port. Sailing at 10:00 or 10:30 (also at 16:00 from May to October), cruises include a barbecue lunch and allow plenty of time for swimming and snorkelling.

  6. Olympia

    With comfortable wicker furniture, a central bar and picture windows overlooking the seafront, this place is perfect for post-dinner cocktails; the music is pretty chilled out, as well.

    La Gaviota

    One of the better restaurants on this seaside strip. Go for a plate of mojo potatoes as a starter, followed by a plate of freshly grilled sardines.
