As the capital of Gran Canaria's island, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria provides sunshine, beaches, and an extraordinary historical legacy. The pleasant year-round climate contributes to the city's rich cultural diversity. Because it is only 90 miles from the coast of Africa and has had a colonial past, the aboriginal Guanche culture has a unique blend of European, American, and African influences.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is an important city in the eastern province of the Canary Islands. Throughout the island, palms provide a tropical feel to the cobblestone alleys. In the winter, the average temperature is 17 degrees Celcius, while in the summer it is 25 degrees Celcius. You can get there in less than two and a half hours from Madrid, four hoursfrom major European cities, and six hours from North America by flying into the International Airport of Gran Canaria. It's a 20-minute drive.

BEST TIME TO VISIT THE CITY

Las Palmas has its hottest months from July to September, but travellers flock there year-round because of the subtropical environment, making the winter months just as popular.

Casa de Colón (Christopher Columbus Museum)

Here you can discover the biography of Christopher Columbus and how he lived in Las Palmas at one time. The antique maps from the 1400s that depict the world as it was imagined to be back then are the features that are worth exhibiting.

Playa de Las Canteras beach

You'll find some of Europe's best snorkeling here, as well as hundreds of colorful tropical fish. At the beach, campfires are not permitted. You can, however, light a few tea candles, spread out a blanket, bring your favorite bottle of wine and a tray of tapas and enjoy a feast in the warm sand.

Maspalomas

Maspalomas is the largest town on Gran Canaria's southern shore, yet much of it is arid. The dynamic dune system protects 400 hectares of land, stretching from the well-known Playa de Maspalomas in the west to the even more well-known Playa del Inglés in the east. There are some of the top hotels on the island located in and around Maspalomas. You must appreciate the delicate ecology of the dunes by only going on the paths that have been properly marked. Adding a camel ride to your itinerary will amp up the adventure factor.

Mount Tejeda

Tejeda and Cruz de Tejeda are another fantastic day trip from Las Palmas. This is a wonderful hiking location. Tejeda town is also too adorable for words. Because of the white houses and purple flowering bushes, it has a Santorini vibe. Getting to the Tejeda's is difficult and takes about three hours by bus. However, if you book a private transfer with Rydeu it will take you only 50 minutes and you will be able to explore at your leisure rather than having to plan your trip around an inconvenient bus schedule. Hiking along wildflower-covered hills and golden fields is one of the many wonderful activities available on Mount Tejeda. If you enjoy shopping, the local market in Cruz de Tejeda is full of artisanal cheese and handcrafted goods that will tempt you to buy some while you're there. The Donkey Rides on Cruz de Tejeda is the most exciting part (great for little kids)
