Playa del Amadores.

I could say this beach is nicest beach in Gran Canaria, also newest beach so far I know. Located between Mogan - Puerto Rico. The bad thing of this beach is that to reach this beach not so easy for the people, unless they have their own car, the bush stop some hundred meters to the beach, and there are no hotel or apartment to rent in the beach (sea) side.

Nevertheless this beach is very famous in Gran Canary because this beach really nice to see or to go for swimming, just walking around or lay to get sun shine.

here is the photo;

San Nicolas

San Nicolas is most likely just a village, fisher and farmer village. But this area is very nice, especially for people who like really quite, peaceful and natural, the problem is too windy in this area, especially on summer, and in winter is cooler than Puerto de Mogan.

They have beach also in this area, but not so 'friendly' compare with another beach in Gran Canaria, the apartment renting here is quite cheap, perhaps only half price compare with Puerto de Mogan for the same quality.

What I like most from this area is the farm, cactus farm, you can see this photo;


and here is another view of San Nicolas;

Puero Rico

Puerto Rico is one of most tourist destination in Gran Canaria, especially for English. People like to stay in this area I guess because they can find easy night-live, here many bar or night club, compare with Mogan, Puerto Rico is like 'big' City, some people -especially German tourist- don't like this place because too many people and to crowded, even in the beach.

If you go to Gran Canaria with planing to relaks in your home stay, I recomend you to not choose Puerto Rico, but if you like night live and metropolish atmosphere, then Puerto Rico will suitable your holiday.

Bedugul

Bedugul is also nice mountain, here in this mountain you also can fine very nice lake, even they builded nice "Pure" (most likely place where Baliness make their religion's ritual, where they can pray). People also use this nice lake for rekreation, they can go for fishing, play with jet ski , or they also can going around with boat.

If you like paraceiling, you also do your hobby in this place. 

Closed by this place you also can get easily bungalo or home stay, some place really cheap but the other very expensive, I recomend you should look around and compare  some place before you decide to stay in one place, especially if you western and you have no guide.

Here are photo of Bedugul

Kintamani

Still about traveling, another destination in Bali. Actually so many nice place in Bali, what I wrote here (in this blog) is only "few place", still many other, one of them is Kintamani (mount), here in this place you see veri nice lake, named it Batur Lake, you can go for fishing, swimming or use boat to look around the lake.

Also you can find nice home stay or bungalo closed by, and most interesting is, just cross the lake, there is place called it "Truyan", where Baliness people put the dead body just laid under the tree, these came from tradition, they wait until there are enough dead bodies to burn when the time come, mean that the people (the family) have enough money to make ceremony, they call it "Ngaben", literally mean "to burn the dead body".

This is photo of Kintamani.

Kuta Beach

Most famous beach in Bali, even in Asia maybe. People come to this beach for surfing, just enjoy the sun shine to get brown or to see the sun set. Even in the night, people still like to enjoy Kuta beach. Around Kuta beach a lof of shop selling art articles, fashion and so on, just beside the beach cross the street there is big restaurant and also big night club, I can say that Kuta is 'never sleep'.

Here are photo of Kuta beach:
