If you are planning a holiday in Las Palmas rather than in Puerto Rico, Playa del Inglés or another resort in the south of the island, the Hotel Concorde in Las Palmas is a good choice.
This hotel is only 5 minutes from the beach and is close to shops, restaurants and clubs. Las Palmas is a fascinating place to explore and Las Canteras beach, with its golden sands, is just as good as the beaches in the south. If you are interested in walking and hiking in Gran Canaria, Las Palmas is an ideal place.
It’s a good idea to take a phrase book with you if you are staying in Las Palmas. English is widely spoken in the south of the island but not so much in the north. You can get a bus to the south for the day for 5 euros if you want to and there is more than enough to do in Las Palmas to keep you entertained all week long.
