| Las Palmas (Gran Canaria - Canary Islands) |  
|
Description:
Gran Canaria is nicknamed the Small Continent because of its extremely varied landscapes with European, African and even American vegetation. The mountain range in the island's center, of a height of about 2000 meters, is cut by some bizarre canyons. Along the seaside there are wide beaches of sand. Las Palmas, the archipelago's capital, with 352.641 inhabitants, surprises the visitor with its highly original and individual architecture showing influences of all five continents, and its colorfully painted houses.
Ambience is very lively, being evidence of a population of southern temperament not always taking life at its most serious. It offers attractive festivities and highly recommendable cuisine. | |
