Playa del Cura is a smaller resort, away from the crowds. The beach is formed of black volcanic sand and there's a small centre with shops, restaurants and bars. The surrounding landscapes are rather bare and you're fairly isolated but if all you want is sun, peace and a beach, it'll do just fine.

Take cheap last minute holidays to Gran Canaria and enjoy Taurito, atop two hills with amazing sea views. The hotels and complexes are smart, mostly new, and there's excellent entertainment available in the evenings. The beach is large, made of black sand, but there are no water sports. There's a massive public pool, so big it's called a lake, about half a mile round, complete with great water features.
