Exploring destinations in Las Palmas & surroundings in autumn

Near Playa de Amorades

Near Playa de Amorades

Within 20 minutes, a hired car will take you to El Jardin Canario, a botanical garden also known as Viera y Clavijo, about 10 kilometers away. With over 23 hectares, it is the largest botanical garden in Spain. Here you can admire over 570 native plants of the Macaronesian zone. From the Parque Santa Catalina you can also take a relaxing walk across the outskirts of Las Canteras. Six kilometers north of Las Palmas is the Castillo de la Luz, a fortress formerly located on the sea. Nowadays, it serves as a marine museum and art exhibition venue and is open to visitors. The square building with massive walls was built in 1541 on the remains of a fortress wall of a destroyed castle from the times of the conquest. Mainly it served at that time as a protection against pirates and was thus an important defense against attacks from the sea side.

Speed and traffic rules in Gran Canaria

Beach in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

In Las Palmas and the rest of the Canary Island, the Spanish traffic rules generally apply. Always plan enough time for your trip, because driving in the mountains with all the winding roads requires maximum concentration. Unless otherwise stated, the following maximum speeds apply on the island:

  • Inner towns: 50 km/h
  • Motorway: 100 km/h

Parking and refuelling a hired car in Las Palmas

City of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

The easiest way is to park the hired car in one of the parking garages. Here you are charged by the minute. In white parking zones you can park continuously for free and in blue parking zones you have to get a parking ticket. At night, on weekends and at lunchtime, the blue areas are normally free.
Compared to other European countries, fuel prices on Gran Canaria are very reasonable. Nevertheless, one can also save here when refuelling. The gas station network is quite dense, so you should have no problems finding a gas station. Outside of towns, petrol prices are usually somewhat cheaper.
