Gran Canaria

Housed in a 16th-century mansion linked to Christopher Columbus's 1492 stopover, this institution traces the history of the Canary Islands and their ties to the Americas.

Nicknamed the 'Sistine Chapel' of the Canary Islands' indigenous peoples, this painted cave is the heart of an archaeological site revealing the ancient native capital of Agáldar and its unique geometric frescoes.

In the historic founding district of the city, this market combines a colorful food hall with a Sunday craft market offering pottery, basketry, and traditional costumes.

Every June, the streets of Vegueta's historic quarter are covered with immense ephemeral carpets made of flowers and colored sand, a centuries-old popular and religious tradition.
