Hotels in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Once again Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has become an urban tourist destination.

The following decades mass tourism was established in the south of Gran Canaria. This is where the largest tourist areas on the island are concentrated today. However, this does not mean that more and more people are traveling to Gran Canaria to visit Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and enjoy its gastronomy, culture, urban beaches, old town and authenticity.
