Who am I?

I am Sofía, 29 years old, from Las Palmas.

I have spent 10 years outside Canary Islands, I was living in Madrid where I studied and worked for some years.

Last two years I have travelled a lot, and living the experience of traveling as a cultural and personal enrichment.

Six months ago, I came back to Canary Islands to stay. I´m enjoying the city. At the same time I´m getting to know day to day life here again and now 10 years older I am interested in other aspects of the city, as its cultural life for example.

When I see tourists visiting our city it makes me wonder if what they see more or less fullfill their expectations because despite being not very large, this city is atractive enough to spend some time. It would be interesting to visit Las Canteras and Vegueta. I highly recommended them, but also having an idea of ​​the lifestyle and places local people like, our favourite restaurants, shops, and corners than any city has.

Feel the difference in the EXPERIENCE. ENJOY IT!

Did you know Las Palmas is one of the 10 largest cities in Spain?

Did you know that you can be at 14 degrees and 25 degrees in the same island at the same time?

Did you know there are over 2.000 types of local cheese in Canary Islands?

Did you know there are only two more dune systems in the World like we have in Maspalomas?

What if we try to show you another way to meet our island, to taste it, to feel it.

We are excited to introduce our land as we see it and as we live.

What if, we, as citizens, as people who have made a place here, let you experience what is authentic to us?

Our island

We see many tourists wandering around the city. They visit not only our beaches in the south, but also they are interested in exploring the rest of the island.

We want them to experience our culture and our people. We offer local expertise to make this island a different place for a visitor.

We can choose for you a good restaurant, plan 2 hour walk in the city, or maybe we can give you advice about the bests routes in the countryside ...

For example this picture is when, one month ago I went on my own to have a 30 minutes walk in the countryside 40 minutes by car from Las Palmas. Impressive view of El Teide. (Cruz de Tejeda)

Other examples could be how you can get to know the north of the island, we can guide you with your shoppìng and inform you about local events and festivals.

We are open to any suggestions or questions.
