One day in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Start your day by exploring the historic district of Vegueta. Here you can visit the Cathedral of Santa Ana, which offers a panoramic view of the city if you climb its tower. Don’t miss the Canarian Museum to learn about the pre-Hispanic history of the islands, and the Casa de Colón, where it is said that Christopher Columbus stayed during his journeys to America.

Stroll through the Mercado de Vegueta: Close to the Cathedral, you can visit this traditional market to see local products and perhaps try some snacks like flor de Guía cheese or papas arrugadas with mojo picón.

After your cultural tour, head to Playa de Las Canteras, one of the most beautiful urban beaches in Europe. You can take a walk along the promenade, enjoy a swim in its clear waters, or even go snorkeling.

Take advantage of the numerous restaurants along the promenade to enjoy a lunch with sea views. The options range from fresh seafood to international dishes.

Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo: In the afternoon, visit this botanical garden, the largest in Spain, located about 20 minutes by car from Las Canteras. It`s a perfect place to relax and enjoy the endemic flora of the Canary Islands.

Sunset at Las Canteras or at the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus: Conclude your day by enjoying a beautiful sunset. You can choose to stay at the beach or move towards the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, located at the end of Playa de Las Canteras, where the sun sets spectacularly over the ocean.
