Walk through La Barra
When the tide is low, you can walk on the natural reef of Las Canteras, 'La Barra'. It is a unique experience with spectacular views of the beach and the city.
Tapas in Vegueta
Thursday night is tapas night at Vegueta. Many bars offer a drink and a tapa for a fixed price, and the streets are filled with an incredible atmosphere.
'Flattened' Rhythm
Life in the Canary Islands has a slower and more relaxed pace. Enjoy it and don't stress if things go slower.
The Sun Deceives
Thanks to the trade winds, the heat is not usually stifling, but the sun is very strong. Always wear sunscreen, even if it's cloudy.
Tap Water
Tap water comes from desalination plants. It is drinkable, but most people (locals and tourists) prefer to consume bottled water for its flavor.
Safe City
Las Palmas is a very safe city. Apply the usual precautions, especially with your belongings on the beach.
