The complex is located in the centre of groovy Playa del Ingles, just off the main road that leads from the Yumbo Centre to the beach, the Avenida de Tirajana. This means you’re about a ten minute walk from the Yumbo and seven or eight minutes’ walk from the start of the beach. You’re also conveniently located opposite the Cita Centre which, as well as being fairly handy for shopping now has a handful of gay bars to keep you amused till early hours!.
