Vakantiehuis Las Palmas

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a city which offers sun, sea and an exceptional historic legacy. Mild temperatures throughout the year make for an enjoyable seaside resort that's popular with both Spanish and foreign tourists alike. This cosmopolitan city, the biggest in the Canaries, presents an eclectic mix of cultures: the aboriginal Guanche culture, its colonial past and the mainland-Spain feel in an African landscape create a distinctive character. The city’s old quarter, La Vegueta, preserves colonial architecture from the 15th and 16th centuries in its beautiful courtyards and balconies. This lively neighbourhood was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 1990. It's also a focal point for some of the island's best cafes, bars and restaurants. Check out Las Palmas’ numerous museums, including the interesting Museo Canario, with its fascinating mummies and trepanned skulls belonging to aboriginal Canarians. For the more adventurous travellers, there are tons of activities to enjoy from surfing, swimming and sailing to scuba diving, snorkelling, abseiling, bungee jumping and paragliding. And let’s not forget, here you’ll find some of the best nightlife in the region.
