Firstly if you are visiting by car make sure tou parl legally and pay in metered areas. I saw two vehicles being towed away near the church. Arucas is a little village inland, accessed from the north, and it has a huge church of cathedral-sized proportions. Inside you can appreciate the height and size. there are beautiful stained gl;ass windows .

Across the road from the commercial shopping area of Las Palmas, this compact town is full of historical buildings with beautiful architectures - Casa de Colon mansion, Santa Ana cathedral, town hall, museums and galleries. Meander around the cobbles streets then take a moment to absorb and enjoy the atmosphere in one of the plenty outdoor terraces.

Very well made and dramatic video presentations showing life of the pre-conquistador population on the Canaries. Makes it easier to then envision their life when seeing the remains of their buildings. You can also go inside reconstructed dwellings. Good guides!
