Discover five centuries of colonial art, architecture and history while enjoying some traditional Canarian tapas along the way!

We will tour the main landmarks of “Vegueta”, the historical district of Las Palmas, our capital city (just 40 minutes away from Maspalomas). Vegueta is one of the jewels of Spanish history and is filled with history, stories and great food!

Please note this is more of a leisure day, not a full day of hiking. 

Las Palmas was the first Spanish colony, founded back in 1478. Being the Western-most city of any European power, the island became a cornerstone in the conquest of America, starting with the stopover of Columbus in his very first voyage, and accrueing an impressive historic heritage during the Spanish Empire that soon followed. The Canarian influence in Latin America (and vice versa) is still palpable not only in the architecture, but also in the cuisine, the music, the dialect, the values and even the pace of life.
