Canarian tranquility.
More of 400,000 people live in The Gran Canarian palms , the capital of the island, which means, on the one hand, that half of its inhabitants are concentrated here and, on the other, that it is one of the largest population centers in Spain . That cosmopolitan and urban air It shows in everything: in its movement and in its port, one of the busiest in the world, and also in some museums and cultural institutions that are, in form and substance, champions of the historical and contemporary Canarian identity.
This is not an obstacle for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to occupy the first place in the ranking in terms of cities with the cleanest air in Spain . This city open to the sea has long been promoting the use of public transport and cycling among its citizens. And that certainly helps you breathe better.
But it is also that this is not only a sunny, hot and torrid destination. It also keeps an urban jewel that should be remembered and revisited from time to time. Their Historical Center (the neighborhoods of La Vegueta and Triana, which we develop in another section) yearns to be protected by UNESCO due to its special beauty and its influence on the rest of Spanish colonial enclaves . And it is that its Plaza Mayor, its random squares and its meringue-houses only have one rival: the colorful taverns that fill streets like Triana or Mendizábal.
