Mirador Norte de Las Coloradas

An urban balcony in the Las Coloradas district, set on a volcanic hill inside the protected landscape of La Isleta, at the northern end of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Its viewpoints give one of the best outlooks over the city and over the island's north coast, with the Atlantic opening up ahead. It is one of the capital's favourite spots for watching the sun go down, and it is reached on foot from the neighbourhood itself.

Parque San Telmo

The oldest public park in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on the edge of Triana and steps from its main shopping street. Inside stand the Ermita de San Telmo, a tiled modernist kiosk and a bandstand where the municipal band performs. Tall Indian laurels shade most of the square, and the central walk with its benches makes it a place to sit down in the middle of the city. The San Telmo bus interchange is right next door, so public transport leaves you at the gate.

Parque Doramas

Urban park of some 50,000 square metres in the Ciudad Jardín district of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, laid out in terraces linked by steps and walkways. It sits between the Museo Néstor, the Pueblo Canario and the Hotel Santa Catalina, so it slots easily into a walk that takes in all three. Canary Island flora sets the tone: palms, dragon trees and large ficus that shade the paths. Inside there is a children's play area and a small open-air auditorium.
