Las Palmas visit plus shopping route

A visit to Las Palmas of Gran Canaria is a must for any visitor. The most densely populated capital of the Atlantic has, according to various studies, the most pleasant climate in the world. Las Palmas is charming and fun, with historical neighborhoods that retain the very essence of Canarian folk life. This spirit is alive in the narrow streets, endless stairways and colored houses in old neighborhoods like San Cristobal, La Isleta and San Roque. The capital is also notably majestic in important areas such as La Vegueta or Ciudad Jardín. Its cathedral is the most important monument of Canarian architecture still preserved today, and the beach of Las Canteras is one of the most important and best valued urban beaches in Europe. If you are not already convinced, it's also the ideal city for shopping.

For a browse in search of the most charming, modern or avant-garde shops, nothing beats strolling into the commercial districts of Mesa and Lopez to reach Triana. This fully pedestrianized historic district and shopping center accommodates an infinity of shops for all tastes, from small establishments by local designers to famous international brands. If you prefer to have all stores under one roof, the shopping center Las Arenas, with three full floors of shops and restaurants, is the largest of the island.

From shopping to leisurely exploring the beaches and streets in search of the island's unique corners and charms, Las Palmas is one not to be missed!
