Las Palmas - each year numerous improvements are made to the city as billions are invested in enhancing areas such as the shopping area of Mesa y Lopez, the vast port that is Muelle Las Palmas where up to 6 cruise ships can dock at a time, Europe's largest aquarium is almost complete, the entire harbour area is being linked to the shopping area with pedestrianised bridges and walkways. Of course we already have one of the world's largest carnivals, an opera house, various theatres, several blue flag beaches inclusing my favourite on the island "Las Canteras", more than a thousand restaurants to choose from, botanical gardens as recommended on tripadvisor, stadium concerts (I have my tickets for Elton John), the perfectly preserved 500 year old historic quarter of Vegueta..... the list goes on.
