Top 10 attractions in Las Palmas
Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are an autonomous archipelago of Spain, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa, and consist of seven main islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Lanzarote Island. The archipelago enjoys a subtropical oceanic climate, with warm weather year-round and minimal temperature differences between winter and summer, making the seawater suitable for swimming throughout the year. Each of the main islands has distinct highlights: Tenerife's Parque Nacional del Teide centers on the Teide volcano. This cone-shaped volcano, with an altitude of over 3,700 m, is the highest peak in Spain. You can take a cable car to a platform near the summit to overlook the sea of clouds rolling over the volcanic wasteland, and on clear nights, the mountains are perfect for stargazing; Gran Canaria is home to Las Palmas, one of the most populous cities in the archipelago. The city's Las Canteras Beach features fine sand, clear water, and gentle waves, while the Maspalomas Dunes in the south of the island are a sea of gold extending to the coast, offering a completely different landscape from the other islands; Lanzarote Island's Timanfaya National Park preserves vast areas of solidified lava fields. You can take a tour bus along the Volcano Route to travel through them, watch geothermal demonstrations that use underground residual heat to create steam eruptions, and even ride a camel slowly across the charred volcanic slopes. The Canary Islands are surrounded by the sea, offering a rich selection of marine activities such as surfing, diving, sailing, and boat trips to watch whales and dolphins, and there is convenient transportation connecting the islands.Valsequillo de Gran Canaria · 13.9 km from Las Palmas

This was once the residence of Sanmao and Jose. A memorial plaque with their portraits hangs on the exterior wall.
