Las Palmas de Gran Canaria; Sunday, 24 February, 2019

I had a filling breakfast in the hotels top-floor restaurant, before heading back to the open-top bus tour starting point and taking the bus round towards the cathedral.

I had a long wander around the centre of the old town of Las Palmas, before finding myself by a café just as the cathedral bells were chiming one, so I stopped for lunch.

After lunch I headed back into the old town and over to the Casa de Colòn, a building that Christopher Columbus had once stayed in on one of his voyages. It’s now a museum dedicated to both his voyages and to some of culture and history of central and south America.

From the house I headed back through the old town to the tour bus stop and did a full circuit of the tour in the warm afternoon sun, before staying on round to the top end of the beach and wandering back along the sands towards the hotel.

I freshened up in the hotel and after a while headed back out into the old town to find somewhere for dinner. I had a very nice tapas dinner in a square in the city centre before catching the bus back to the hotel.
