The capital of Spain’s Gran Canaria, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is nestled in the azure blues of the Atlantic Ocean, in the coast of West Africa. Laden with culture, delicious food, a mix of traditions, luxury and fine sand that can run between your toes, Las Palmas is your answer to a unique vacation. It is also where the great explorer Christopher Columbus holidayed before heading to Spain and on his first trip to the Americas. Mark your time here with visits to the city’s Arenales neighborhood, home to the El Obelisco monument, the inspiring Casa África, and La Isleta, where descendants of the islanders who stood up to the naval attack of the fearsome pirate, Sir Francis Drake, reside.
The island is also home to a variety of flora and fauna. To make the best of this tropical weather, check out Jardín Botánico Viera y Clavijo —Gran Canaria’s botanic garden— or the volcanic crater, la Caldera de Bandama. These verdant sites are a clear indication of the Canary Island’s invitation to all its splendour. The island is only 100.55 square kilometers (38.8 square miles) in size, but is filled with things to see and do. To fully experience all that Las Palmas has to offer, check out our list of 13 Airbnb vacation rentals in the area:
