The views from here into the gorge are jaw-dropping! And you get to see what life was like on the island back in the past before outsiders came through to change things. Great for the kids too!

We hadn't intended on spending any time in Las Palmas but just sort of ended up there on our last day. In the end we had a really nice time and were glad that we visited. The Vegueta Old Quarter is lovely, the Cathedral and the Museo Colon are worth seeing. Also, the Playa de las Canteras beach is a fine place for an afternoon beer or cocktail.

galdar is in the shadow of a volcano suspiciouly like a miniature mount teide of tenerife, but don't let that put you off! This square is the highlight of the town, with lovely trees including the oldest dragon tree on the island, and some wonderful architecture in the form of iglesia de santiago de los caballeros, and casa consistorial. Loved sitting here and watching to world go by.
