Considering the MELIA LAS PALMAS in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria?

The Promenade by Playa de Las Canteras. by Regina1965
This is such a favourite place of mine in Las Palmas, Playa de Las Canteras (see my tip on the beach) with its wonderful golden sands. By the beach there is a lovely promenade "Paseo de Las Canteras" which lies alongside the 3,1 km of the beach. There are many hotels, restaurants, shops, cafés and lovely squares and palmes along this promenade, making this a very lively walk. Musicians and entertainers make the walk even more colourful. What caught my attention was how many lovely statues there are by the promenade. All in all quite a lovely walk by a wonderful beach. From the promenade you can see Auditório Alfredo Craus which is home to the Las Palmas Philharmonic Orchestra and on a sunny day you can see Tenerife from here.
My favourite shop there is Crespo curiosity shop with a lot of interesting stuff. Do pay it a visit.
The area by the beach is called The District of Playa de Las Canteras.
