Itinerary
Stop 1
San Telmo Park is a small square that you cannot miss when visiting Las Palmas. Located in the Triana district, it reveals beautiful palm trees that make it an ideal setting to relax, read a book or play with your children.
Pass by without stoppingIslas Canarias
As we reach the historic center of the city, I offer you a short presentation of the island you are on and the Canary Islands in general.
Pass by without stoppingStop 3
Here you are in the main street of the Triana district and in one of the city’s shopping streets. It is a very nice street, characterized by beautiful bourgeois houses where once lived rich Andalusian, English, Danish or Maltese merchants.
Pass by without stoppingStop 4
The Triana district is one of the most interesting in the city. It is one of the most beautiful and oldest: it was built at the same time as that of Vegueta in the 15th century by the governor of the Catholic Monarchs Juan Rejon.
Pass by without stoppingStop 5
The building in front of you is the Monastery of Saint Francis of Assisi. The building was built in 1518 by a Sevillian named Pedro Llerena and by that time it was already a convent dedicated to the founder of the Franciscans.
Pass by without stoppingGabinete Literario
Here you are in front of a monument called the Literary Cabinet, or gabinete literario here in the Canaries. Its neoclassical and modernist architecture makes it one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, which stands out elegantly in Cairasco Square.
Pass by without stoppingPlaza de Cairasco
The beautiful square on which the Literary Cabinet is located marks the boundary between the two historic districts of Las Palmas, Triana and Vegueta.
Pass by without stoppingPlaza Hurtado de Mendoza
Small break on the pretty Hurtado de Mendoza square! Located between the districts of Triana and Vegueta, it unveils a beautiful statue in its center that gave it its name, because it is a monument that pays tribute to Hurtado de Mendoza, former mayor of Las Palmas in 1903 who left his mark on the city by managing to establish a solid administration in the municipality.
Pass by without stoppingBasílica De Santa Ana
You are currently in front of the most imposing monument in the city, the Cathedral of Santa Ana. She looks pretty good, doesn’t she?
Pass by without stoppingLos Perros de La Plaza de Santa Ana
Perhaps you have already noticed them – or not, if you were too captivated by the cathedral, which I can understand – but you have, right in front of the majestic monument, sculptures of dogs here and there, sometimes sitting, sometimes lying down.
Pass by without stoppingStop 11
In this typical street of the city of Las Palmas, you pass along the Canary Museum, one of the most interesting museums on the island. Here, 11 rooms are deployed to tell you the history of this archipelago so beloved by tourists today.
Pass by without stoppingStop 12
Vegueta is, together with Triana, the oldest district of Las Palmas. Even more historic than its neighbour, it reveals many monuments that come straight from the 15th century, when the Catholic Monarchs conquered and settled in the Canary capital.
Pass by without stoppingCentro Atlantico de Arte Moderno
Reviews to those who love contemporary art! In the Atlantic Center of Modern Art in Las Palmas, you will be served!
Pass by without stoppingCasa de Colon
Here is one of the must-see monuments of Las Palmas: the home of Christopher Columbus! So this is not the house he was born in, nor did he live in: he most certainly only stayed here for a few days, but still!
Pass by without stoppingStop 15
San Antonio Abad Square is known to house the chapel in which Columbus went to pray before leaving for his expeditions.
Pass by without stoppingStop 16
Here you pass a building that is undeniably part of the city’s identity: the Vegueta Point of Sale! Place of flavors, smells, discussions of all kinds and stalls to lose your mind, the Point of Sale offers all the good specialties of the Canaries, served in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
Pass by without stoppingTeatro Pérez Galdós
Here you are in front of a theater that must not be missed in Las Palmas. Called the Pérez Galdos Theatre, it has been considered one of the most modern theatres in Spain since its renovation in 2007.
Pass by without stoppingIslas Canarias
Come and join San Telmo Park, I invite you to review the history of the islands known as the “islands of eternal spring”.
