Exploring destinations in Las Palmas & surroundings in autumn

Near Playa de Amorades

Within 20 minutes, a hired car will take you to El Jardin Canario, a botanical garden also known as Viera y Clavijo, about 10 kilometers away. With over 23 hectares, it is the largest botanical garden in Spain. Here you can admire over 570 native plants of the Macaronesian zone. From the Parque Santa Catalina you can also take a relaxing walk across the outskirts of Las Canteras. Six kilometers north of Las Palmas is the Castillo de la Luz, a fortress formerly located on the sea. Nowadays, it serves as a marine museum and art exhibition venue and is open to visitors. The square building with massive walls was built in 1541 on the remains of a fortress wall of a destroyed castle from the times of the conquest. Mainly it served at that time as a protection against pirates and was thus an important defense against attacks from the sea side.
