"Guiniguada" - The Canyon in the middle of the City
A walk through the calm and solitary canyon right in Las Palmas
The canyon used to be a riverbed and separated Las Palmas’ oldest districts Triana and Vegueta before it was flattened out in order to build a highway at the beginning of the 20th century – which somewhat upset environmentalists and nature lovers. Some historic photographs still show how beautiful the riverbed in downtown Las Palmas originally was.
