Las Palmas er en by som så mange andre. Der er meget trafik og høje huse, men også en by med gode forretninger og shopping muligheder.
Den gamle bydel er hyggelig med smalle stræder, restauranter, caféer og en smuk katedral.
Den brede strand er fantastisk med sit lysebrune fine sand og rene vand.
Man kan leje en liggestol for 2.5 euro og en parasol for det samme.
Der er visse dage en kraftig vestenvind. Vi var der i sidste halvdel af Marts.
