Tarajalillo in Gran Canaria – Beach, Indoor Skydiving and Culture

Tarajalillo in Gran Canaria is home to an unusual skydiving attraction: FLY Gran Canaria operates an indoor wind tunnel for skydiving here. Indoor skydiving is possible from the age of four, without having to jump from an aircraft.

When searching for a holiday apartment in Tarajalillo, travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions can be compared on the respective offer pages. These details provide the practical framework, while the themes of the stay connect with the coast, activities and culture.

Other places in Gran Canaria include Artenara, Urbanización la Suerte, Ojos de Garza, El Juncal, Santa Brígida, Valleseco, Firgas and Las Palmas De Gran Canaria.

For personal planning, you can consider the main themes separately or combine them. Air, water, play and culture stand alongside one another as different themes; the combination that emerges remains a matter of your own travel plans.

Experiences

FLY Gran Canaria is located on the GC-500, kilometre 7, in 35107 Tarajalillo, Las Palmas. Introductory packages include the required flight equipment, a theoretical introduction and guidance from professional flight instructors. Hangar 37 is an airsoft park for combat simulation, with 10,000 square metres of game environments, including basements, tunnels and trenches. Hangar 37 is located at the entrance to Gran Canaria’s tourist zone in Tarajalillo. At Hangar 37, players can join ongoing games without prior reservation and without a minimum number of participants; new missions begin every ten minutes.

The two attractions differ considerably in their format: indoor skydiving focuses on movement through the air, while Hangar 37 offers a large-scale combat simulation in different game environments. The timing also differs: the flight experiences begin with an introduction and guidance, while at Hangar 37 the missions change at short intervals. This makes it possible to consider the experiences as separate highlights.

Coast

Playa de Tarajalillo beach consists of pebbles and sand. Swimming there takes place in windy conditions and moderate waves. The beach can be reached via the Tarajalillo motorway exit; the Aeroclub serves as a landmark, while there is no public transport connection to the beach. Surf fishing and windsurfing are possible on the beach.

The beaches Playa de Bahia Feliz, Playa del Cardón and Playa de las Burras are located in the immediate vicinity of Tarajalillo. Playa de La Caleta is in the surrounding area of Tarajalillo.

The coast around Tarajalillo can be viewed on two levels: the local beach combines pebbles and sand, wind, moderate waves, surf fishing and windsurfing; alongside it, Playa de Bahia Feliz, Playa del Cardón, Playa de las Burras and Playa de La Caleta offer additional named coastal destinations in the surrounding area. This creates not a uniform beach landscape, but a selection of different coastal spots.

Culture

The Centro de Interpretación de las Salinas Tenefé museum is located in the surrounding area of Tarajalillo. The Centro de Interpretación de La Fortaleza museum and the Mundo Aborigen museum are also located nearby. In addition, the Necrópolis de Arteara is located in the surrounding area of Tarajalillo as a historical site.

The cultural destinations also offer different points of emphasis. Salinas Tenefé, La Fortaleza and Mundo Aborigen are listed as museums; the Necrópolis de Arteara complements this selection as a historical site. This means that museums and a historical site in the surrounding area of Tarajalillo stand alongside the coastal and leisure attractions as independent themes for travel planning.
