When to go to Las Palmas?
Las Palmas has a proper city beach: Las Canteras, a long golden arc where the Atlantic rolls in gently, surfers at one end and swimmers at the other. Inland, the Vegueta quarter keeps its cobbles, colonial balconies and the Casa de Colón, while the Viera y Clavijo botanical garden gathers the island's subtropical flora into a single ravine.
