You will hardly find another city in Spain that offers her citizens and visitors such a combination of different attractions: beautiful and clean Las Canteras beach, a lively Old Town which is definitely worth a visit, enjoyable shopping and entertainment districts. Only one or two kilometres away you have the choice between sun beds and paragliders, a stroll through the Old Town "vegueta" and a dive to a reef. All of this, however, is not exotic luxury. You can reach Las Palmas de Gran Canaria very easily, fast and at low costs – still, it is far from being overcrowded by tourists. After arriving at Gando Airport, almost all tourists on the island turn South. This is why the tourists on the beautiful and well looked-after "Las Canteras" beach are always a modest minority.

• good prices for accomodation in hotels, apartments or pensions
• economical, authentic and diversified eating and drinking in the restaurants and bars
• shopping is much cheaper than in the South while offering a wider range
• numerous types of sports such as surfing, diving, paragliding and many more
• a wide variety of interesting events, festivals and cultural events the whole year through
