Self-Guided Podcast Tour Las Palmas: Between Surf and Ships

Experiences

About this experience

Las Palmas is a city with a split personality, divided by a narrow strip of land and defined by two radically different shores. On one side, the wild, volcanic Atlantic crashes against a surfer’s paradise. On the other, massive cargo ships loom over calm, sheltered beaches in one of Europe’s busiest ports. Join us on this immersive walk across the Istmo de Guanarteme, where we will decode the geological secrets, the British mercantile history, and the striking visual contradictions that make this island metropolis so utterly unique. - A 7.0 km self-guided tour with 8 stops over 185 min - Ideal for travelers interested in Sensory & Emotional Cities and Urbanism, Infrastructure & Innovation - Immersively told in a podcast style by experts and locals - Matching audio content, AI guide and navigation through the app
