Playa del Inglés & Maspalomas Gay Guide
This page collects all the information from the previous pages and is more convenient if you want to print out or use a complete gay guide for Gran Canaria.
On desktop PCs you can also print out your own preselection instead of the whole list:
just double-click on the name of the hotel or location that you would like to
remove, and the whole entry for that location will disappear.
Same with sections: double-click on a section title
(for instance ›Saunas‹) to remove the whole section.
If you are not happy with your selection and want to start all over again,
just reload this page.
