...... and thank you Torchwatch for indicating the beautiful dunes in post#3
of the earlier thread . (I added that as it seems to be sadly missing from what I see as a matter of politeness on the advices requested and given prior to departure).
Just to get it right , as your descriptions vary all over the place, you were at Maspalomas beach which is at the southern end of the island Gran Canaria.
Gran Canaria is the second largest of Las Islas Canarias - a string of long -established island holiday resorts we simply and generally call "The Canaries".
Glad to hear you had a good time (although a separate thread for the report of the vacation was not necessary as it could simply be added to the thread already created 12-23-2013 on the intended trip).
Having no pic. of the yummy eye candy on the beach , here is one instead of three tourists in Maspalomas:
