Experience in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain by djilali

What is it like to live in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Las Palmas is peaceful and quiet city that welcomes everyone with open arms. Native city of Benito Pérez Galdós, "the Cervantes of the Nineteen century", it is simple and beautiful where everyone, whatever is his fondness and penchant will find what is looking for: the erudite, the student among its well organised red of quarry, the sportsman, the nature lover, the history, everyone will find in its beaches, natural landscape and museum, modern and old streets what is looking for. in bref, in Las Palmas there is a place for everyone. if Las Palmas is a woman, it is a very nice, quiet, simple, well educated and both conservative and modern woman that it is difficult avoiding falling in love with her. I strongly recommend.
