Arrived in Las Palmas yesterday evening. We got off the ship to wander the town, visit a pharmacy, and have a (delicious) bite to eat.
The Canary Islands were called the islands of the dogs by the Romans for reasons that are lost in history. The canary birds are native to the islands and are named after the islands.
Today we got an overview of this island Gran Canaria, visited the Bandam crater, walked the old town, visited the local museum located in the house where Columbus had stayed on his first voyage of discovery, and had tapas.
