CRUISING

Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas

Like many gay destinations, Playa del Ingles also has many outdoor cruising spots. Shopping center's and public toilets are often such places. These places are often difficult to find when you do not know exactly where they are.

 

GayGo has gathered some of the outdoor cruising spots here to help you out a bit on the way. Of course, there are probably many we do not know about.

 

In addition to outdoor cruising, apps are widely used for casual hook-ups. Grindr is widely used in Playa del Ingles. It is easy to get everything from a quick anonymous hook-up to new friendships with others. Lots of cruising is done at hotels, in hallways and around the pool. 

 

Often there's no more than a quick hotel hook-up that is needed…
