Every winter Europe's Mediterranean cruise fleet turns south and heads to the Canary Islands. Most cruises stop at Las Palmas in north Gran Canaria and it's Europe's main winter turnover port.
We know that cruise passengers don't have as much time to explore Gran Canaria as holiday visitors so whether you want to get up into the highlands or just find somewhere great for lunch by the sea, here's our guide to the best things to do and see in a day from Las Palmas port.
There's more to Arucas old town than the great big church. Walk up the narrow cobbled streets behind the cathedral for great old Canarian houses and local street life, then head down narrow Calle Gourié to the High Street (Calle León y Castillo).
