Famous Landmarks
Las Canteras Beach
28.1235°N, 15.4366°W
Las Canteras is one of Europe's finest urban beaches, 3.1 kilometres long and protected by a natural reef barrier called La Barra. Crowned with palms and lined by a lively Paseo, it has been Las Palmas's seaside heart since the 19th century.
Catedral de Santa Ana
28.1235°N, 15.4366°W
The Catedral de Santa Ana, begun in 1497 just after the Castilian conquest, is the first cathedral built in the Canary Islands. Blending Late Gothic, Renaissance and Neoclassical styles, its towers offer a striking panorama over the Atlantic and the old town of Vegueta.
Vegueta old town
28.1235°N, 15.4366°W
Vegueta, founded in 1478, is the historic district of Las Palmas and the city's birthplace. Its cobbled lanes host the Casa de Colón, where Christopher Columbus stopped in 1492 before his voyage to the Americas. Listed as a Site of Cultural Interest, it preserves a unique colonial atmosphere.
Why gift a star map of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria?
Gifting a star map of Las Palmas means immortalising a moment under the Atlantic Canarian sky, where Africa and Europe meet beneath the stars. At 28° north latitude, constellations invisible from continental Europe come into view. Every star above Las Canteras captures the freedom of a night beneath the Atlantic horizon.
The sky of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
At 28.12° north latitude, Las Palmas lies close to the renowned Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias) on the neighbouring island of La Palma — one of the world's finest observation sites. The southerly latitude reveals austral constellations invisible from continental Europe, and the trade winds stabilise the atmosphere for exceptional seeing.
