Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria straddles the Atlantic-facing isthmus of northeastern Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, a position that has made it both a beach city and an important port. Las Canteras beach follows the northern seafront, where the natural La Barra reef helps shelter part of the bay. Inland, the historic quarter of Vegueta preserves the city’s earliest streets; Las Palmas was founded in 1478, and the Cathedral of Santa Ana anchors its main square. Casa de Colón traces the island’s connections with Atlantic navigation, while Puerto de la Luz remains central to the city’s maritime character.
