One of Spain's most famous tourist attractions has undergone a miraculous transformation which has left environmentalists stunned but delighted. The undulating Maspalomas sand dunes in Gran Canaria are known throughout the world for their sand mountains and attract hundreds of thousands of tourists every year, many of them to have sex or to sunbathe in the nude without being disturbed. The dunes, which can only been reached after a long walk, have even been the setting for porn videos. Due to the total lack of holidaymakers and the government's decision to close all beaches, the Maspalomas attraction is in pristine condition, with rolling dunes and not one footprint. The sand dunes are within a special nature reserve with a high degree of protection and are considered one of the most iconic ecosystems of Gran Canaria, covering around 1,000 acres.
