“Where am I from? Everyone knows that. ¡From Las Palmas!” - Benito Pérez Galdós, 1914
Be it Christmas, Carnival, or simply a Friday night something is happening around you in Triana-Vegueta
Living in Travieso 5 means being surrounded by the best restaurants, parks, businesses and environment that the centre of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has to offer
Get a historic perspective
Staying at the cultural and foundational centre of the city opens up a wide array of cultural attractions such as:
The Pérez Galdós Theatre and his House-Museum
Several art galeries including the CAAM (Atlantic Centre of Modern Art)
Columbus House Museum where the life and voyages of Christopher Columbus are documented
Several libraries such as the Biblioteca Insular and the Biblioteca Pública del Estado en Las Palmas
… and if we’ve forgotten to add something (and we sure have!) the Central Tourism Office of Gran Canaria is only 300 metres away from the building
The staples
At your feet you have a myriad of restaurants, cafeterias, bakeries and pastry shops that have served the neighbours and workers of the Triana-Vegueta district for decades. Up the street, one minute away, there is a medium sized supermarket and two minutes away there is a large one that opens on Sundays (HiperDino Triana). If you are looking for the freshest local produce stop by the traditional Vegueta Market which is an 8 minute walk away. Both deliver directly to your door (and up the stairs!)
Stay in shape…
…practicing Yoga in Ashtanga Canarias or train in Altafit Gym among other training centres or pamper yourself in the nearby salons and beauty centres
Feel secure…
…being surrounded by several pharmacies and safe by relying on nearby doctor offices and hospitals such as the San Roque Hospital which is a mere 5 minute drive or 12 minute walk away
Go shopping…
…to the most exclusive boutiques as well as electronics and small shops plus the all the most important banks and professional services
And if you want to go further take advantage of…
The San Telmo taxi and bus station which is a 6 minute walk away and has express connections to the main destinations on the entire island
Direct access to the various bicycle lanes with which in a moment you’ll be in Las Canteras beach or Santa Catalina park
