Your photographer in
Las Palmas
Historic cobblestone streets, a world-class urban beach and vibrant neighbourhoods full of colour — Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the island's capital and one of its most diverse and photogenic cities.
Where history meets
the Atlantic
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a city of extraordinary contrasts. In the historic Vegueta quarter, cobblestone streets wind past 15th-century colonial architecture, the Santa Ana Cathedral and the Casa de Colón — where Christopher Columbus once stayed on his voyage to the Americas.
Just minutes away, the golden sands of Las Canteras Beach stretch for three kilometres along the Atlantic coast — consistently ranked among the best urban beaches in Europe. Between these two worlds lies a city full of colour, culture and photographic opportunity at every turn.
