Las Palmas Walking Tour
Las Palmas, Spain
Why Walk Las Palmas
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a major Atlantic port city with a split personality: the historic Vegueta quarter has cobblestone streets, the Casa de Colon (where Columbus stayed), and a 15th-century cathedral; while Playa de Las Canteras, one of Europe's best urban beaches, stretches for 3 kilometers along the modern city's waterfront. The climate is famously mild — temperatures rarely drop below 18°C or rise above 28°C.
