Castillo del Romeral is a coastal town located southeast of Gran Canaria, within the municipality of San Bartolomé. Given its location, it is usually a windy area. In fact, there are several wind energy mills in its surroundings. However, the days that the wind respects are undoubtedly a stop that we recommend you make to eat fresh fish and take a swim in the Atlantic Ocean.
Castillo del Romeral, Gran Canaria
Castillo del Romeral It is one of the few 100% authentic sites in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, the most touristic in Gran Canaria. It has several pebble beaches or shut up as we say in the Canary Islands and some artificial pools with sea water to take a dip. If you like discover less touristy places on the island, Castillo del Romeral and its Canarian cuisine will surprise you.
They have recently renovated the entire promenade with garden areas and playgrounds. We like how they tasted preserve the same marine style of the houses that are on the front line: white color with blue and colored touches. But the best, its saltwater pools!
Natural pools Castillo del Romeral
Along the Castle's seafront promenade you can enjoy its different natural pools. We call them natural pools because they contain sea water, but they have really been adapted for bathing and easy access. For example, there is a small artificial barrier that connects the pool with the ocean where many locals sit and feel the waves. These are one of the few natural pools in Gran Canaria which are found in the southern area.
Likewise, they have different stairs for easy access to take a dip. Since there is a breakwater, we can say that it is an ideal place to enjoy with children who already know how to swim.. On the other hand, to sunbathe you will have to do so on the concrete floor or bring your own chair, since it does not have sand, rocks or hammocks. Regarding services, there are only footbaths.
Liágora Canaria Restaurant
If you are looking for restaurants in Castillo del Romeral, you should know that despite being a small town, there is a very good and wide gastronomic offer. Here our favorite is Liágora canaria. They are specialized in rice and seafood.
Here we have eaten the best blanched gofio from Gran Canaria. They put it as a garnish when you order fried fish along with some good potatoes with mojo. By the way, the old frita is a must (local fish). As for starters, the house always invites you to a salad tapa. They also usually have off the menu one of the best bluefin tuna carpaccio we have tried until now.
We have also heard good things about Las Salinas and the Fishermen, but we haven't been there yet.
