Day 9 - Las Canteras and The Old town.

Another beautiful day in Las Palmas and we started the day with a walk along las Canteras seafront,  only this time we headed South. Again there was plenty to  see, especially the numerous surfers, beginners and experts.



















We strolled as far a the auditorium where the a some unusual sculptures. At mid morning we stopped off for coffee and cake. 

In the afternoon we made our way  down to Vegueta, the old town of Las palmas. We wandered the old historic streets where many of the buildings had ornate balconies. 











We the visited the Cathedral Santa Ana, this beautiful building is quite stunning and to learn that construction started around 1500 is quite remarkable.











We the strolled over the Plaza  to where the local kids were holding a Christmas show on an outside stage.
There were several choirs of all ages and it was very entertaining. 











The Triana district was our final stop  where visited a traditional Tapas bar and tried out several of these local delicacies. 




On our way home we walked down the main pedestrian street where all manner of street entertainers were playing to the passing visitors.
