| View of Las Palmas |
Today?s metropolis is some six miles away from what was the island?s capital for almost four hundred years. What you really want to see here is the Plaza de Santa Ana, where the oldest colonial buildings still stand. Back in the city proper, you might want to do some shopping at one of the department stores and numerous shops that border the the lovely tree-lined boulevards, before returning to your hotel.

| Playa del Ingles |
There still exists on Gran Canaria some stunning scenery, from desert-like sand dunes to pine forests to banana planations to volcanic landscapes - perfect places to escape the crowds. While visiting Playa del Ingles try a stop at the Cruz de Tejeda mountain pass. An impressive spot in itself, the view that spreads before you is almost Alpine ? thick forests, wide valleys and the occasional lofty peak.

| Playa de Las Canteras 1 |
| While most tourists choosing Gran Canaria for their holidays are seeking the sun and the beautiful beaches that this island boasts, it would be unforgivable not to visit the capital. And I cannot think of a better place to start than a beach, in this case the Playa de las Canteras. Running the entire length of the beach is the Avenida Marítima, a promenade ideal for a stroll or just viewing the seashore. |

| Playa de Las Canteras 2 |
This is one of the most beautiful beaches to be found within the confines of a city anywhere in the whole of Spain and it almost four kilometres long from one end to the other. Waves break gently on the golden sand, their force spent by crashing over La Barra, a reef that acts as a natural breakwater ensuring that swimming is safe for everyone.
