This week I would like to invite you to another
virtual trip for my city. Have you missed previous
virtual trips? Check them
here!Today we are visiting
Las Palmas Cathedral and surrounding areas.
Here you can see a park which is very near to the Atlantic Ocean.
This is a picture of the
Nestor Alamo statue, which was a very important artist here.
This gate is one of the entrances to the
Colombus Museum.
Colombus stayed in the Islands for a while and that´s why they created this wonderful museum.
The whole area surrounding the Museum is very quite and calm.
Quiet corners to have a nice chat, drinking coffee, tea, having a snack...
This is the
Perez Galdos Theater, which is divided in two parts: the older one, built in 1890, and the modern one, built less than ten years ago.
Here you can see the Mercado de Vegueta, a market who was opened by the Queen Isabel II.
It has been remodeled recently and now it looks so much nicer on the inside and outside too.
Details of the sorrounding streets, like this amazing gargoyle. On the right picture you can see the flags of the
CAAM, an important artistic modern museum.
A bunch of beautiful and typical balconies.
A funny thing I noticed recently is that the City Council has put this plate in several historical buildings, so now any tourist can phone this number and receive information about the place he or she is visiting, in different languages.
Here are some views of the
Santa Ana Plaza.
A curios fact here, the Canary Islands were called this way because of the word dog in latin, which is
Can. And few statues of
cans situated in the
Santa Ana Plaza represent this origin.
And here it is, the Cathedral.
And here are some views of the
Council Building.
And here is me again, just saying thank you to all of you who read this post, I hope you had enjoyed it!
See you next week on another virtual trip!
