Maspalomas plans big transport push for Soul Festival Maspalomas plans big transport push for Soul Festival

The Ayuntamiento de San Bartolomé de Tirajana is liaising with the Maspalomas taxi cooperative and the Global bus company to make sure that there is enough public transport available to get people to and from the Maspalomas Soul Festival on San Agustín beach.

The free festival, which in on the weekend of July 31-August 2 2015, will be held on the sand at San Agustín beach and is expected to draw large crowds of Gran Canaria residents and visitors. 

The Global bus company, which owns all the blue buses that connect Gran Canaria's resorts to each other and to Las Palmas city, has scheduled buses passing through San Agustín every 20 minutes: These are lines 01 and 05 from San Telmo in Las Palmas; line 25 from Playa de Arinaga and line 36 from Telde, along with the direct bus line 30 from Santa Catalina in Las Palmas and line 90 from Telde. . Check times and stops (in Spanish) on their website here.

Global plans to increase the number of line 01 and 05 buses connecting San Agustín to San Telmo in Las Palmas during the festival period. 

The local taxi cooperative will use the San Agustín shopping centre as it base during the event. It plans to continue working after the end of the live music at 00.30 to make sure everyone can get back to their resorts. 

Organisers and the Ayuntamiento hope that by providing enough public transport, they will encourage people not to drive to the festival as there is limited parking in the San Agustín area. 

We would advise people coming from resorts and towns in south Gran Canaria to budget for a taxi home, especially if they stay until after midnight. People coming to San Agustín from Las Palmas and the rest of Gran Canaria will be able to get a bus back home.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
