🇪🇦 and 🇬🇧
 
It is a tour that focuses on the history of the Canary Islands and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on the architecture of the historic center, and on Canarian culture.

Immerse yourself in the history, architecture, and ethnography of the capital Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands with information ranging from the indigenous Canarian era, the conquest of the Canary Islands and Gran Canaria, the founding of the city, El Real de Las Palmas as a commercial city in the 16th century, pirate attacks, and some anecdotes. An introduction will be made at the beginning about certain Canarian traditions inherited from the indigenous Berber population of the islands.

Information will also be shared about two illustrious figures linked to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria such as Cairasco de Figuero and Alfredo Kraus, as well as the mention of many others. On the other hand, we will focus on architectural monuments of the historic center and their architectural styles (traditional Canarian architecture with the Mudejar stylistic base, neoclassicism, modernism, regionalism, etc).
