The beaches
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is one of the few capital cities in Spain with kilometres of beaches. In addition to this, the island's excellent climate means that it can be used all year round.
The main and most popular tourist attraction is Las Canteras beach: three kilometres of blond sand, accompanied by as many kilometres of promenade, offering all kinds of services: hotels, restaurants, bars and terraces. When the sun goes down, the beach becomes the best meeting place for those who want to practice sports or take a relaxing stroll.
- La Bahía de El Confital opens up at the foot of the mountains as an extension of the sea. Here the sun was used to evaporate the puddles in which the salt pans used to settle. The best right-hand wave in Europe for surfing can be found on its coast.
- Las Alcaravaneras Beach is located in the centre of the city next to the Muelle Deportivo. With nearly 1,000 metres of blond sand, it is flanked by the city's two yacht clubs. Sheltered by the quays of Puerto de La Luz, this beach is the ideal place for water sports, especially sailing.
Gastronomy
In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria it is possible to taste a wide range of typical dishes that make up Canarian gastronomy, from sancocho, made from a fish called cherne, to various meat dishes, with a choice of carajacas accompanied by papas arrugadas con mojo, pig's meat, marinated rabbit, pig's trotters, ropa vieja or goat's meat.
The pastries and cakes come from the inland villages of the island, such as the suspiros de Moya, the bienmesabe de Tejeda or the appetising sweets made by the nuns of the Cistercian monastery of Teror.
- In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, taperío, the popular snacks, are also very common. The areas of Vegueta, Triana, El Puerto or Tafira are common places to enjoy some tapas in the open air accompanied by local wine, on small terraces.
