Continued city break with H.

Weather forecast said more rain, but it‘s (mostly) blue sky and sun. Anyway, we‘re up for a city walk again!

After a nice breakfast in a street café nearby, I first drop in at the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, to pick up a camping permit for my future hikes. Unfortunately one of the camp sites I had planned to stay at, is now closed. But I get my permit for the rest.

Then it‘s strolling through Las Palmas once again, and having a lunch salad at an italian restaurant with roof top terrace near Playa de las Canteras.

After that we walk back to Castillo de la Luz, to see the interior; H. has already visited this two days ago -when I was too lazy- and convinced me that it‘s an architectural must-see. And that is correct!

Once done with the architecture-nerding, we meet ‘Obelix’ at the harbour Puerto de la Luz, and have a look at all the other various ships.

Then it‘s back to the old town district of Vegueta, where there is lovely light – and so many nice old houses!

All in all walking across Las Palmas today: roughly 15-20km.
