Immerse yourself in the history, architecture and ethnography of the capital Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands with information ranging from the indigenous Canarian period, the conquest of the Canary Islands, the pirate attacks, the emigration of Canarians to America to the time when the banana and tomato were star export products.
