Las Palmas is the capital of Gran Canaria, and the ninth-largest city of Spain. It is surrounded by the Ocean and provides one of the highest life qualities in Europe. It also has become one of the main global destinations for digital nomads. Tourists and locals can enjoy outdoor activities directly in the city, at the beaches Playa de las Alcaravaneras and the lively Playa de Las Canteras. At Las Canteras you can also find a very large surfing community. However, the city is more than that, it is a place of leisure, commerce and good food, a reference for culture on the islands and with a great historical heritage, with an important commercial and cruise port and great tourist attractions. The climate is another positive point, with an average annual temperature of 21 degrees it is worth a visit all year round.
