Some might say Banana Park is not the most fascinating place one can spend a day in, given it is overshadowed by the more spectacular attractions in and nearby Maspalomas, such as Holiday World or Palmitos Park. Yet, Banana Park might easily complement a day’s pastime and, should one ponder on what this park makes available, the venue might come as a surprisingly rich opportunity. Thus, the fact the park stretches on a surface of 50,000 square meters cultivated with some 4,000 specimens of banana trees, 400 orange trees, for instance, is pretty impressive. Other species of plants complement the greenery of this huge plantation, but the camels, the goats and other sundry farm animals are also picturesque presences.
Palmitos Park is both a zoological and a botanical garden, the largest of its kind in Gran Canaria. It is located in the popular resort of Maspalomas.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the capital of the island and the most important commercial port. It is also a source of considerable tourist opportunities.
Puerto de La Luz of Las Palmas materializes the work of Fernando Leon and Juan Castillo. The Leon y Castillo House Museum honors their contribution.
