Three kilometres of coastline that extend in a gentle curve from the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, the Plaza de la Música and the surfing area of La Cícer to La Puntilla, the prelude to the popular neighbourhood of La Isleta.
The urban promenade that accompanies Las Canteras is dotted with numerous bars and restaurants ideal for an aperitif, breakfast, lunch or dinner. This makes the beach, the natural theme park of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, an environment with a lively urban life.
In the historic quarter you will discover Vegueta and Triana, an area of Columbian architecture, with Santa Ana Square and, at either end, the Casas Consistoriales (the first town hall, still today the seat of municipal plenary sessions) and the Cathedral, as well as numerous museums. Vegueta, Triana and the surrounding area are nowadays known for their wide range of restaurants, ideal for visitors to discover the typical local cuisine ('papas arrugadas' (wrinkled potatoes), pork leg, seafood and local produce, Canarian cheeses...), but also for revisiting these dishes from a contemporary perspective.
