Be wowed by the sights and scenery of Las Palmas, the largest city in the Canary Islands.

Follow your local guide as you stroll around the old colonial area of Vegueta where you'll visit the Columbus Museum – the very house Columbus stayed in while one of his ships was repaired in 1492. 

Continue through the fantastic architecture of the Old Town, where you'll walk past the imposing Cathedral of Santa Ana, Cariasco Square and the famous Gabinete Literario, before pausing for a refreshing drink and a snack.

Then it is onto the Canary Gardens, devoted to the conservation of Canarian Flora. The Jardín Botánico Viera y Clavijo is the largest in Spain and one of the world’s best. Take a walk at your own pace through its 27 hectares filled with the rich and spectacular plants of the Canary Islands. It protects over 500 species of indigenous plants, many in danger of extinction, as well as an abundance of exotic plants.
