Located on the northern coast of the island, the capital of Gran Canaria is renown for the great shopping opportunities including duty free holiday bargains, but don't miss it's other attractions such theatres, museums, parks and concert halls. The capital can also boast a long sandy beach with good swimming plus all the usual facilities we expect from a modern holiday resort.
Puerto de la Luz y Las Palmas, to give its official name, is a busy commercial port. The movement of all vessels is monitored from a control tower in the Port Authority building. If in any doubt one should contact Port Control on channel 16 or 10, who will then advise to switch to a working channel. Yachts entering or leaving should look out for commercial traffic, particularly the high speed jetfoils.
The yacht harbour, Muelle Deportivo, lies at the southern end of the main harbour. It is administered by the port authority. Arriving yachts should tie up at the Texaco fuel station at the northern end of the main dock where a port official will meet them and assign a berth. If arriving outside of office hours one should take one of the spaces on the main quay. One should not moor at a slip unless instructed to do so by a port official.
