A Local's Guide to Las Palmas Old Town (Vegueta)

Vegueta is the historic heart of Las Palmas — declared a UNESCO Heritage candidate, it's the perfect mix of culture, food and nightlife. Don't miss: - Catedral de Santa Ana — climb the tower for panoramic views. - Casa de Colón — where Christopher Columbus stopped on his way to the Americas. - Calle Mendizábal — tapas night every Thursday, packed with locals. - Mercado de Vegueta — fresh produce, Canary cheeses and wines. We recommend a late afternoon arrival, dinner at a tapas bar, then a stroll through the lit cobblestone streets. Skip parking — let us drop you right at the entrance.
