Founded in 1478, Las Palmas holds the title of being the most populous city in the Canary Islands. Strategically located on the northeastern part of Gran Canaria, it has a rich past marked by its role as the de facto capital of the Canary Islands until the 17th century and being the point of anchorage for Christopher Columbus in 1492 on his inaugural journey to the Americas.

What truly sets Las Palmas apart is its year-round balmy climate, an average annual temperature of around 21.2°C, and warm waters, offering visitors a perfect setting to explore the city's wonders at any time. From the bustling port of Puerto de la Luz to its vivacious cultural calendar featuring the Carnival of Las Palmas and the Canary Islands Music Festival, Las Palmas promises a unique blend of leisure and learning.

Education is well catered for in Las Palmas, with a wide assortment of state and public primary and secondary schools, and the famed University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The city is also home to the Canarian Ministry of Presidency, half of the ministries and boards of the Canarian government, and the High Court of Justice of the Canary Islands.

When to visit Las Palmas

Strategically perched in the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean, Las Palmas enjoys a pleasant sub-tropical climate throughout the year, offering high levels of sunshine accompanied by warm temperatures. The best time to visit is between July and September when temperatures flare up, offering a perfect retreat for sunseekers.

Despite July being the driest month with nearly no rainfall, beach lovers may prefer to visit between June and November when the water temperatures tie in at a tantalising 23°C or above. However, the city also witnesses a tourism spike in the winter and spring months around Christmastime, half term and Easter, lending to excellent weather and boundless sunshine. So, whether it's the beach or the bustling city life on your mind, you can't err with choosing Las Palmas as your next holiday destination.
