City in Spain

Las Palmas

3 things to see

Las Palmas is Gran Canaria’s capital, with a year-round spring climate, a free city beach (Las Canteras), and a growing digital nomad scene that keeps the cafe and coworking economy affordable. The long beachfront promenade and the old Vegueta quarter cost nothing to wander, and the year-round mild weather means there is no real off-season to avoid. Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the neighboring island offers a similar Canarian experience.
