Las Palmas has a nice and compact old town wort tostrol around. It is worth to look inside the St Ann cathedral ant to photograph the herd od dogs (monument) in front of it – d you know that the name of the whole archipelago “Canarias” came from canas – dogs in Spanish, not from any birds? The interior ofSanto Domingo church is even nicer…
In the back of the cathedral there s Casa de Colon – the house where Christopher Columbus stayed before his sailings to America – now there is a museum. Las Pmas has also great seaside promenade which will take you to the nice fountain – see picture.
What I do not like here? Traffic noise. Bread rolls for 0,50 euro each. Expensive transport….
But it is m last day here – soon I will walk to the cruise port to board the “Monarch” – cheap cruise ship heading to Panama. It is second-handship. When it was young and pretty it was called “Monarch of the Seas”. But for the backpacer like me the price is main the factor. Yes, there is internet on board but it is weak and expensive. So the next mssage you will probably get after one week – when we willand onthe first carribean island. Keep the fingers crossed for the calm Atlantic, please!
