Overall, I didn't really like Las Palmas compared to the rest of the Canaries. The Columbus House is the exception. In this property, typical of the colonial era, you walk through different patios, each decorated in its own way. The interior is also a testament to the colonial period. Christopher Columbus stopped here several times, hosted by the governor, on his trips to America. The house is now a museum, with old explorer maps, miniature ships, a reconstructed ship cabin, paintings, and explanations in several languages, including French, about navigation and the lives of the great explorers.
