In episode 3, we take the walk from Puerto Rico neighbouring Playa de Amadores in Gran Canaria.
We take you along the promenade from Puerto Deportivo taking in the scenery along the elevated coastal walk to Amadores.
Once we get to the beach, we show you the selection of beach front restaurants and shops on offer. Everything is there for you to spend a day by the seaside. The waters are calm and safe .
We then take in a snack at Portofino's restaurant up towards the Amadores Beach club. We review the food in there before moving on to the beach club. We show you the prices of admission if you chose to try something different away from the beach.
We decide to take up a spot on the beach and relax in the sun and sea.
The following evening, we walk back along the promenade to take in the beautiful sunset and feed cucumber to the lizards on the rocks. We then take some time to take in the sunset.

Recently found ur channel having booked a holiday to Playa Amadores in a few weeks time, great channel, very informative so thank you for taking the time to make them 😎👍

[@continentalcoxons]

Thank you Terry and welcome to our little channel. Its a pleasure to have you on board 😊

[@MartinMcDonald-rs2yl]

I went in 2015, still looks amazing, looking to go again, great video

[@continentalcoxons]

Thank you Martin, pleased you enjoyed it. We loved it here and wish we'd had more time to go back and spend some down time there. An excuse to go back I guess 😁

[@ttadoremano]

Playa Amadores is so beautiful 😍🏜☀. We love that everyone is so chilled and relaxed there 👙🩲. Thank you for this very nice, detailed and informative video 👍. We are already looking forward to the next episodes.

[@continentalcoxons]

Aww thank you so much for taking the time to watch us and for the lovely comments. Yes we absolutely loved Amadores and wish we had got more time to spend there. We will definitely go back if we get back to GC.

[@voyagetogo]

Just simply nice

[@continentalcoxons]

Thank you, hope you enjoyed it 😊

[@mjc5509]

I enjoy your videos ..i first went to GC IN 1983 Things have changed a lot......❤

[@continentalcoxons]

Thank you MJC, nice to hear you enjoy them. Yes I can imagine things have changed a lot in that time, Amadores probably wasn't even there back in 83

[@mjc5509]

@@continentalcoxons No it wasn't. And NO gay bars in YUMBO CENTRE either 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂. Thinking of a pre Christmas trip LAS PALMAS is nice with all the decorations up,and reasonably priced too .. HOTEL PARQUE (SAN TELMO) is where I usually stay ..Old town craft market near Cathedral on a SUNDAY morning In WINTER is worth a visit too.ENJOY YOUR TRAVELS ...

[@continentalcoxons]

@mjc5509 I actually have a yputubr friend heading there over Christmas so I will let him know about that craft Market. We never got to Yumbo during our time there but knew about it. Think the last time I was in GC was 2000 but never really got to the places I stayed last time.

[@MegaDeano72]

just love Amadores, usually stay in Revoli so not far to walk, again, great filming!

[@continentalcoxons]

Yeah our apartments were just down the street from Revoli

[@marymags8432]

Great vlog love that you show the menus

[@continentalcoxons]

Yeah we started doing that as it gives people an idea of prices. Was actually going to do a bit in a supermarket to show prices but never got the time. We will have an episode solely on restaurants later in the series.

[@aloe4497]

Thanks again for this brilliant information 🙂 love your filming and edit style great 👍

[@continentalcoxons]

Thank you Aloe, so pleased you are enjoying them. We have a new video coming tomorrow.

Hi Charles, thanks for the lovely comments and for taking time to watch our video. Yeah we loved Amadores and would highly recommend it to anyone.

[@maggiehoward7020]

Amadores is so beautiful 😊

[@continentalcoxons]

Lovely isn't it?

[@Aroslavsky]

I have just come bk from GC... I spent a few days in LasPalmas... so nice! I did nit have enough time to visit Maspalomas that was recommended to me by locals.

[@continentalcoxons]

Maspalomas was nice, nice size beach and obviously the dunes are well worth seeing. We only got a few hours in Las Palmas but the beach was nice there too. Wpuld have been worth stopping there for a night though and see how it was. Pleased you enjoyed your time there

[@JohnMyer999]

Another great video looks really nice thanks….

[@continentalcoxons]

You're welcome John and thanks again for watching. Yeah we really enjoyed Gran Canaria and would definitely go back. Already thinking of going for a break one winter.

Thank you Kevin, thanks again for taking time to watch. Nice to know they're hitting the mark.

[@Mgaller21]

I’m going there in 2 weeks 🎉❤❤

[@continentalcoxons]

Excellent, hope you have a lovely time

[@pompey69]

Portofino probably the best restaurant on front ,

[@continentalcoxons]

Yes it was decent in there, although we only stopped in for a quick snack. Maybe if we go back we will try to eat there in the evening.

[@jamespaterson4947]

Thanks for the video. I think the sand is that consistency because it’s mixed with silicone to prevent it becoming too hot under foot. You will see other beaches the sand is very hot.

[@continentalcoxons]

Thanks for watching James. You are correct, I read this when we got back which makes sense. The beach at PR was really hit the day before.

[@boothylad5151]

really enjoying this series guys,really like your vlogging style,dont change!!..the bigger some yputubers get the more they move away from what attracted people to them,you two seem like what you would be like in person.....some shall we say" great scenery and background shots" as well😉

[@continentalcoxons]

Thanks boothy. Yeah what you see is how we are, we don't attempt to be anyone else and stay true to ourselves. Some will hate that some will love it. We try to keep it as real as possible, no point being someone we're not

[@billblue1]

Nice video 😊

Aww thank you William, pleased you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks for the recommendation and thanks for watching. If we ever get back to Gran Canaria we will have a look at Pio Pio. Hope you enjoy the rest of our videos to come from Gran Canaria 😊

[@davidpitfield2796]

Been there 22 times now... I was wondering... do you need permissions to fly & record with a drone? I was there with my son in May '23 ( Gloria Palace PR) and took my drone to film but was unsure about local regs so didn't try. That area that was closed off, was a busy diving and "jumping-into-the-sea" spot for tourists and locals back in the 80's and I spent many days of my holidays there waiting for the swell of the tide, then diving in! Sadly...a couple of tourist lost their lives and its been cordenned off for a number of years now. The only way to reach it was to walk along the shoreline from PR because that walkway hadn't been built... neither had the resort of Ammadores. Fond memories of when I was a bullet-proof 20yr old in the 80's showing off to the ladies by showing my diving prowess from that exact spot! Great videos BTW and maybe meet you in a restaurant in downtown PR shopping centre sometime! Booked for May 2024.😎

[@continentalcoxons]

Hi David, thanks for lovely comments and your experiences in PR. We've had quite a few stories from people since we did these and it's great to hear how others have enjoyed the resort over the years. Never experienced any issues with the drone, as long as you aren't flying near airports or any military bases you should be OK. I do always try to fly it away from crows/people and stuff too though.

[@johnhutchinson3820]

Great video and Drone footage. Do you use the Mavic mini2? and is it just the same regulations as in England Would love to take my drone up in PR. We go about 3 times a year . Just came back from Riu Vistamar last month.

[@continentalcoxons]

Just use the original Mavic Mini John, would love to get the latest version to be fair, maybe if we start making a little bit of money from the videos?

[@johnhutchinson3820]

@@continentalcoxons We are from Hartlepool, so not to far from we’re your from by the sounds of accent 👍

We live in Northumberland so it's not too far at all.

[@matt-zr6zs]

can ya walk to it from main pour to rico or can ya get a bus to it many thanks again .

[@continentalcoxons]

You can actually do both. It only takes about 20 minutes to walk along from PR and its a nice walk. The buses will probably run from the Angry Birds adventure park.

[@lynnrich5943]

Stayed In Amadores 4 year ago we always do the walk along the wall its beautiful. Is the homeless man still there with his dog . The lady at the 60c toilets wouldn't let me go in with my daughter unless I paid as well . She has a fear of getting locked in . I was a bit miffed 😒

[@continentalcoxons]

Hi Lynn, thanks so much for watching. Yeah we saw the homeless guy every night near the angry birds adventure park. That's a bit wrong with the toilets mind. I don't agree with having to pay to go at the best of times, would rather give that money to a local bar or restaurant to be honest. Yeah it's a beautiful walk along to Amadores, especially at sunset. We were lucky to get a lovely clear evening when we walked along.
