One of the two capitals of the Canary Islands, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is an enclave of culture and history. Located on the east coast of the island of Gran Canaria, this port city is a mecca for visitors looking to explore its remarkable 16th century architecture and charming cobbled streets. Popular attractions include the historical Vegueta district, in which stands the Gothic Cathedrals of Santa Ana and San Juan Bautista. In addition, don't miss the bustling Calle de Triana and the Plaza de España, the city's main social hub, lined with many cafés and local shops. Also, the impeccably preserved Casa de Colón, a museum devoted to Christopher Columbus, is a must-see. Gran Canaria itself is renowned for its majestic sandy beaches, so be sure to make time for some sun, sea, and sand.
