Vegueta Walking Tour

At the designated time, we will meet at Calle Herrería to begin the guided tour of the Vegueta district.

We will explore the maze of streets in the city's historic center while admiring Spanish colonial architecture. Your guide will share insights into the lives of the inhabitants of Las Palmas in the fifteenth century.

The tour continues through the old town at Plaza de San Antonio Abad, where a hermitage commemorates Christopher Columbus's visit to the island.

Next, we will visit Plaza de Santa Ana, which features eight dog sculptures representing the Canary Islands, known as “tierra de los canes” for the number of dogs on each island and the existence of four different indigenous breeds.

We will also see the Las Palmas Cathedral in Plaza de Santa Ana, a notable Gothic structure that was the only cathedral in the Canary Islands until 1819.

After approximately one hour and 20 minutes of sightseeing, the tour will conclude at the Plaza de Santa Ana.
