Las Palmas is a city with a split personality, divided by a narrow strip of land and defined by two radically different shores. On one side, the wild, volcanic Atlantic crashes against a surfer’s paradise. On the other, massive cargo ships loom over calm, sheltered beaches in one of Europe’s busiest ports. Join us on this immersive walk across the Istmo de Guanarteme, where we will decode the geological secrets, the British mercantile history, and the striking visual contradictions that make this island metropolis so utterly unique.
