Costa Calma: has been built from scratch. The first hotel was built in 1977, but the real boom started only in 1984, after completion of the main road through the resort. Costa Calma has different “centres” which are surrounding individual Shopping Centres and all of them have their particular atmosphere. In almost each of them you can find a good choice of restaurants, bars and shops. Thanks to effective water recycling, the resort has become a green area where it is nice to stroll through. A fine walk (2,5h one-way) goes from Costa Calma to La Pared and starts close to the petrol station. And at low tide you can walk on the beach from Costa Calma to Jandía. Every Sunday and Friday is “market day” at the North entrance of the village. Most famous is the area for its spectacular beaches and the yearly surfing contests at the Playa de Sotavento.
