About Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the capital of Gran Canaria and one of Spain's largest cities, offering a diverse mix of historic architecture, urban beaches, and year-round warm weather. The Puerto de la Luz cruise terminal is large and modern; the historic Vegueta district — a UNESCO-designated quarter with Christopher Columbus's house museum — is a taxi ride away, while Playa de Las Canteras, a celebrated urban beach, is within walking distance. The island's dramatic volcanic interior, with its giant Roque Nublo rock formation, rewards a longer excursion.
