Vegueta Walking Tour

At the appointed time, we'll meet at Calle Herrería to begin this guided tour of the Vegueta district.

We will explore the maze of streets that form the city’s historic center while viewing Spanish colonial architecture. Your guide will explain the daily life of the inhabitants of Las Palmas in the fifteenth century.

The tour will progress to the Plaza de San Antonio Abad, where we will see a hermitage with a plaque commemorating Christopher Columbus's visit to the island.

Next, we will visit the Plaza de Santa Ana, home to eight sculptures of dogs that represent the Canary Islands. These dogs significantly contribute to the region's identity, with four breeds native to the islands.

We will then marvel at the Las Palmas Cathedral in Plaza de Santa Ana. It features a Gothic architectural style and was the only cathedral in the Canary Islands until 1819.

After an hour and 20 minutes, we will conclude the tour at the Plaza de Santa Ana.
