Tarajalillo offers a range of very different experiences: at Playa de Tarajalillo, pebbles and sand meet windy swimming conditions, while FLY Gran Canaria offers indoor flying and Hangar 37 is an airsoft park. When choosing where to stay, consider which of these specific experiences you want to shape your visit. The beach, wind tunnel and game settings each offer a different focus and can be planned separately.
Playa de Tarajalillo: Beach and Conditions
Playa de Tarajalillo is made up of pebbles and sand. Swimming conditions there are windy, with moderate waves. The seabed and swimming conditions are two different points of reference: pebbles and sand describe the surface, while wind and waves describe the conditions in the water. Surf fishing and windsurfing are also possible at the beach. This gives you two specific activities to consider in addition to swimming. If you choose the beach as your main focus, you can consider these options separately and take the swimming conditions into account when planning.
Indoor Flying at FLY Gran Canaria
FLY Gran Canaria operates an indoor skydiving wind tunnel in Tarajalillo. Indoor flying is available from the age of four, without having to jump out of an aircraft. Introductory sessions include the required flight equipment, a theoretical briefing and guidance from professional flight instructors. This makes it easy to understand what the experience involves: equipment, an introduction and personal guidance are all included. Age and participation requirements may change, so check them before booking. FLY Gran Canaria is located on the GC-500 at kilometre 7, 35107 Tarajalillo, Las Palmas.
Hangar 37: Airsoft in Game Settings
Hangar 37 is an airsoft park for combat simulation, with 10,000 square metres of game settings. These include basements, tunnels and trenches. Its size and varied settings give the experience a clear focus of its own: simulated combat in purpose-built play areas. Hangar 37 is located at the entrance to Gran Canaria’s tourist zone in Tarajalillo. Players can join ongoing games without booking in advance or needing a minimum number of players; new missions start every ten minutes. These participation requirements may change, so check before your visit to see whether they still apply.
Getting There and Choosing a Focus for Your Stay
Playa de Tarajalillo beach is accessible via the Tarajalillo motorway exit; the Aeroclub is a useful landmark. There is no public transport connection to the beach. As this information relates to the beach, make sure you apply it specifically to that destination when planning your journey, and check transport options again before setting out.
When looking for a holiday rental in Tarajalillo, you can first decide on the focus of your visit: the beach and its swimming conditions, indoor flying or airsoft. This helps you choose where to stay based on the experience that matters most to you. The three options differ not only in the activity, but also in the specific questions worth checking in advance: swimming conditions at the beach, age and participation requirements for the wind tunnel, and the current rules for joining a game at Hangar 37.
