Plaza de Santa Ana in Las Palmas
Plaza de Santa Ana (Plaza Mayor of Santa Ana) - Vequeta in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The bronze dogs statues guarding the square and the cathedral. Why dogs? Dogs are the symbol of the Canary Islands - even the name of the islands comes from the Latin word canis - a dog.

Houses on the hill in Las Palmas
Gran Canaria surprised us with color - after Lanzarote, where almost all the buildings were white, is a big change. These colors enliven the cities.

Coast in Las Palmas. There is a nice restaurant Amigo Camilo on the rocks. They serve a very good fresh fish - speaks only Spanish and no menu - but we were able to order food using the universal language of hands :-)

To this amazing village on the rocky north coast of Gran Canaria, the road leads through a maze of banana plantations. This is a very interesting route - the road is surrounded by a high wall and you often have to stop before the intersection to look around the corner. I recommend getting to Caleta de Arriba from the side of Gáldar.

Puerto Rico - a small tourist town in the valley with a beautiful sandy beach. But for me a little too much hotels and tourists.

Small, typically Canarian village on a mountain slope - a beautiful place to watch the sunset. Photo made during a ride road GC-606 - only 12 km away and drove over an hour. This is probably the most hellish road I was driving - should be called GC-666 :-) You can see this way to the spherical image.

Houses on the slope of the ravine
There you can often see houses on the steep slopes of valleys and ravines in the mountains of Gran Canaria. Sometimes the building is added to a natural cave.

I have always admired people who build houses right next to the sea or ocean, especially with the current information about rising water levels around the world...

There is Puerto de Sardina in the northwest of the island. We got there just before sunset, which was already very low on the horizon and illuminated the buildings with a beautiful pink light.
