Gran Canaria videos: the Maspalomas Dunes from above – a piece of the Sahara in the middle of the Atlantic, filmed by drone. See what they look like from a bird’s-eye view and why they are slowly disappearing.
Sandy ridges that the trade winds constantly shape into new forms, and the sharp contrast of golden sand with the blue of the Atlantic. You will find more about the dunes in the article Maspalomas Dunes.
Human activity, urbanisation and disruption of the natural flow of the wind mean that the sand is being lost to the ocean faster than it can be replenished. So keep to the marked paths.
The videos were filmed by drone.

The Maspalomas Dunes are a place you have to experience for yourself at least once in your life.
