Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a valued partner of the World Cruising Club and a long-standing supporter of the ARC and ARC+, helping to welcome sailors from around the world to the city each year.

As the tourism organisation for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the City Tourism Authority promotes the city as an international destination and supports the development of tourism across the capital. Its work helps showcase Las Palmas as a vibrant, welcoming city with a rich cultural heritage, excellent facilities and a strong connection to the sea.

For ARC and ARC+ participants, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is much more than the starting point for their Atlantic crossing. It is where crews come together, prepare their boats and become part of the unique ARC community in the weeks leading up to the start. The support of the Las Palmas City Tourism Authority helps us welcome our international fleet and encourages crews to discover and enjoy the city during their stay.

The City Tourism Authority also helps highlight the many experiences available within Las Palmas, from its historic neighbourhoods and cultural attractions to its beaches, restaurants, markets and lively waterfront.

Discover Las Palmas

With its historic old town, beautiful beaches, vibrant city life and strong maritime heritage, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria offers plenty to explore before setting sail.

We encourage ARC participants to make the most of their time in the city and experience everything Las Palmas has to offer during their stay.
