Read Port Guide

Discover a vibrant city with a beautiful urban beach, a historic old town, and a magnificent year-round climate that is often called the best in the world.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria offers a cosmopolitan yet relaxed atmosphere, with a strong connection to the sea. The city's feel is defined by its two distinct areas: the historic Vegueta district and the bustling commercial area around the beautiful Las Canteras beach. The ambience is lively and inviting, with a sense of authentic island life. It feels like a genuine city rather than a tourist resort, making it a great place to explore its unique blend of history, culture, and stunning natural beauty.

The cultural significance of Las Palmas is immense, shaped by its history as a major port and a strategic stopping point for ships crossing the Atlantic. Its most prominent figure is Christopher Columbus, who visited the city on his voyages to the Americas. The city's history is visible in the architecture of its historic quarter, which is a mix of colonial, Spanish, and Canarian styles. Las Palmas has long been a key commercial and cultural hub for the Canary Islands.

When it comes to local cuisine, Las Palmas provides a delicious introduction to the flavours of the Canary Islands. The food scene is a testament to its coastal location and the local produce. A must-try dish is 'papas arrugadas' (wrinkly potatoes), which are a staple of Canarian cuisine and are served with a spicy 'mojo' sauce. You can also savour fresh seafood, local cheeses, and the unique rum produced on the island. The food is a perfect reflection of the island's unique identity.

A visit to Las Palmas on a cruise is exceptional, as its port is located near the city centre's main attractions. The proximity of the port to Las Canteras beach and the historic Vegueta district provides a perfect example of what makes this a great destination. You can disembark from the ship and take a short trip to either relax on the stunning urban beach or get lost in the winding streets of the historic quarter, making for an effortless and memorable visit.
