This is a tour that focuses on the history of the Canary Islands and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the architecture of the historic centre and 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 provided about two illustrious figures linked to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, such as Cairasco de Figuero and Alfredo Kraus , as well as mentioning many others. Furthermore, we will focus on architectural monuments in the historic centre and their architectural styles (traditional Canarian architecture with a Mudejar stylistic base, neoclassicism, modernism, regionalism, etc.).
