Plaza del Pilar Nuevo, Vegueta, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Artistic streets in Vegueta, the old town of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

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.

Can pictures and letters come to life? Well, miracles do happen after all. Last century, Néstor de la Torre Martín Fernández, Gran Canaria’s most famous painter, created a series a paintings named Poem of the Atlantic, also known as Poema del Mar.

Landing at Las Canteras

Manolo the Dangerous guides his boat into the clear waters. Nearby, on the sand, you’ll see people walking, with some taking their first swim of the day. Whilst others breakfast on one of the promenade’s terraces. It’s another day at Las Canteras beach.
