Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

A city beach that works in February, and the largest cruise terminal in Europe.

Las Palmas runs on the opposite calendar to mainland Europe: its high season is November to March, when the Atlantic keeps the temperature mild and the mainland does not. Las Canteras is a genuine city beach, and Vegueta is the colonial old town behind it.
