Serviced Apartments in Las Palmas

The city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the largest city on the island of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. More commonly referred to as just Las Palmas, with a population of just under 400,000 people, it is not only the largest city in the entire island chain, but also the ninth largest city in all of Spain. It is this size that makes this city quite different to others in the Canaries, with only a handful of city populations above 100,000 on the islands. This size understandably produces an abundance of holiday lettings in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for tourists to choose from.

On the island itself, Las Palmas is on the north east tip, just a 25 minute drive along the coast from the Gran Canaria International airport. It is this journey which will be your first glimpse of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean coastline to the east, and lush green countryside to the west. Like most of the Canary Islands, the terrain becomes higher the closer you get to the island centre, and most of the towns and villages are found along the seafront. No matter where your holiday apartment in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is found in the city, you are sure to be within walking distance of one of the beautiful beaches.

Speaking of beaches, the city has four main beaches to choose from, namely Las Canteras, Las Alcaravaneras, la Laja, and Confital. The first of these is the largest serving the city and is found on the west side of Las Palmas. There are many serviced residences in Las Palmas overlooking the 3 km long beach, and plenty of restaurants and tavernas to frequent also. Meanwhile, Las Alcaravaneras is to be north east and has almost a kilometre long stretch of beautiful golden sand. La Laja is the best beach in town for surfing, and Confital is a little rocky in places but also great for swimming.

For days you do not wish to spend on the beach, Las Palmas has a wonderful selection of parks and squares in which to join the locals in lazing around, or perhaps having a picnic. Parque San Telmo is one of the most beautiful of these and is found on the east side of the city, close to many holiday rentals in Las Palmas. Closer to the middle of town is Parque Doramas, known for its palm trees and water features.

With all this natural beauty during the day, there is still the customary Canary Islands nightlife you'd expect from the capital of the island.
