Spend a day at Palmitos Park, about 10 kilometers from the Maspalomas Lighthouse. Your ticket includes the dolphin, parrot, birds of prey and exotic bird shows, plus access to the aquarium, butterfly house, gardens and animal areas. The park sits in a mountain valley, so plan for steep paths, sun protection and plenty of time between exhibits.

“Was great shows with the birds and dolphins. The place is situated way up in the mountains with spectacular views. There is a lot of walking involved and much of it is up and down steep hills. The park does provide walkers and mobility scooters at a cost if needed.”
