Great history, traditional architecture, golden sandy beach – all wrapped up in this express excursion. Taking advantage of the proximity of the city to the port, you will meet your guide right at the pier, and make your way through the town, passing by the Santa Catalina Park, which is not far from the famous Las Canteras Beach. Feel the laid-back vibe of this area, while you continue through the town. It is saud that Las Palmas has a mainland-Spain feel. It is nonetheless spiced up with an eclectic mix of other cultures, including African, Chinese and Indian, plus the presence of container-ship crews, and the flotsam and jetsam that tend to drift around port cities. It’s an intriguing place; with the sunny languor and energy you would normally associate with the Mediterranean or North Africa. The hooting taxis, bustling shopping districts, chatty bars and thriving port all give off the energy of this city, which is Spain’s ninth largest.
