Vegeta neighborhood

The neighborhood of Vegueta is located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in the capital of the island. This neighborhood makes up the historic center of the city of Las Palmas.

Las Canteras Beach

Las Canteras beach is located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. This beach is considered the best urban beach on the island since, although it is in the capital of the island and surrounded by buildings, it has a large seabed, golden sand and a promenade surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. On this beach it is easy to see fishermen, surfers and walkers. In addition, on Las Canteras beach, a long rock formation, known as "La Barra", protects a part of the beach from strong tides, making it a good place to swim when the tide is high and see how The bottom peeks out at low tide. Quite a show! If you travel at Christmas, you will be lucky enough to be able to contemplate the sand nativity scene that different artists make every year. An authentic ephemeral work of art...
