Hi,

I'm off to Gran Canaria (Playas del Ingles) with my 2 yr old son and I have the following questions:

- are there other interesting things than the beach for a 2 yr old?
- are there babysitting services available on the resort?

Thx a bunch.

Im looking for the name and location of a restaurant. A couple of years ago my husband went to a Restaurant in Las Palmas - He thinks it may have been and Argentinian Restaurant where they served steak to cook on a hot stone. The walls were covered in peoples signatures, and you are able to sign your name on the wall. We looked for it the last time we were in Las Palmas but he could not remember where it was. He thinks it could be somewhere near Las Canteras. I would appreciate any help or any other suggestions of good restaurants along Las Canteras.
