COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
This beautiful square is home to the historical Hotel Madrid and the spectacular Ilustre Gabinete Literario, once a theater and now a literary and cultural center, is the most beautiful building in Gran Canaria both inside and out.
Today the building houses a museum dedicated to all things Columbus. There are several salons each dedicated to a different aspect of the Columbus voyages. Highlights include a model of the Spanish galleons that sailed to the Americas and a replica of Columbus’ ship cabin.
Once you get your culture fix in the capital city, head south for some fun-in-the-sun things to do in Gran Canaria. The southern coast is famous for its beautiful beaches. Here are a few that are close enough to each other that they can be visited in one or two days.
The real claim to fame in Maspalomas is the famous sand dunes that stretch out for miles. People have picnics on the dunes and ride all-terrain vehicles.
One can’t miss activity is to watch the sunset over the horizon creating colors no man-made pallet ever imagined.
The town sits by the port, designed like a small Spanish fishing village with white-washed homes dripping bougainvillea in every hue. Little cafes, bars, and shops add to the picturesque ambiance.
