Playa del Cura means the "Priest's Beach". Lying west of Puerto Rico on the southwest coast of Gran Canaria, it's a small resort built on the sides of the cliffs that line the coast.
Popular with families, Playa del Cura is quiet and laidback with a small selection of shops and bars. A good transport network of buses and taxis means that the bigger, livelier resorts are easily accessible however.
There are two small beaches, Cura and Tauro, with dark sands and pebbles. The popular Amadores beach is nearby.
Travellers taking flights to Playa del Cura land at the airport in Las Palmas, about an hour by car from the resort.
