The Vegueta Historic Quarter, a designated Historic Artistic Site since 1973, is the foundational jewel of Las Palmas. Join our expert guides for a delightful 90-minute walking tour of its highlights.

Vegueta is the nucleus where Juan Rejón’s troops established their camp in 1478, lending the city its name. As the first Castilian settlement in the Atlantic, it became the island's political, religious, and administrative center, and the crucial springboard for the conquest of the Canary Islands.

Our stroll includes:

- The picturesque Calle de los Balcones.
- Plazas de San Martín and Pilar Nuevo.
- The historic Rua dos Portugueses and the 15th-century San Martín Hospital.
- Winding alleys showcasing the earliest noble houses built after the conquest.

The tour culminates in the magnificent Plaza de Santa Ana, a monumental ensemble of emblematic buildings, before concluding near the Casa del Gobernador, famously known as the Columbus Museum (admission not included).
