In the capital's neighbourhood, we find streets linked to the memory of Saint-Saëns, Alfredo Kraus, Luján Pérez, Pérez Galdós and Néstor Álamo.

There are walks that take us to places where art was born or where the memory of someone who sowed beauty remains. The neighbourhood of Vegueta, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, has art, beauty and history throughout its streets, museums, cathedral and churches. But it also has secluded streets where, if we pay attention, we can almost recognise the presence of those who once walked on its cobblestones and pavements.

The new Cereal Interpretation Centre of Mogán also features a local dining area, water channels, plantations, and informative panels.

Some buildings leave a lasting mark on the landscape. The Molino Quemado of Mogán is one of those landmarks that always catches the eye with its imposing presence and beauty. Fortunately, we can now do more than admire it from the outside — we can step inside and explore it, embarking on a journey into the island’s milling heritage. Not only do the informative panels detail the features of this 19th-century mill, which played a key role in the agricultural and economic life of Mogán and its surroundings, but they also introduce us to the various types of mills that once existed, the grains that were milled, and the workings of the machinery that so many people on Gran Canaria depended on.

The Hermitage of San Antonio Abad-one of the oldest temples in the Canary Islands-has reopened after centuries of silence, inviting both locals and visitors to step into the living history of the city.
