34 Experiences to Rediscover Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

It is the ninth edition of the series. According to the Ayuntamiento de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Turismo LPA, the line-up ranges from guided walks and heritage routes to gastronomy workshops and activities by the sea, spread across eleven days until 23 August.

What it is

LPA Estación is a summer leisure programme that turns the city into an open field of activities. According to the organisers, this ninth edition offers 34 bookable experiences taking place between 13 and 23 August 2026.

The idea is to reread familiar places and bring quieter corners into view – from the historic quarter of Vegueta to the city's beaches and stretches of coast.

The kinds of experiences

The programme is deliberately varied. Announced formats include historical walks – on the story of Guanarteme, the city's British legacy and the temples and churches of Vegueta – alongside literary tours such as "Las mujeres de Galdós".

Turismo LPA also lists art workshops (ceramics, lettering, cochineal dyeing), live music with crooner, jazz and bolero concerts, gastronomy such as sourdough bread and local wine-and-cheese pairings, plus wellness and sport ranging from meditation and barre to surfing, kayaking and sailing.

Sea, beaches and families

There is a clear pull towards the water. Maritime experiences around the traditional Vela Latina Canaria are on the bill, along with activities at well-known spots such as Parque Doramas, the city beach of Las Alcaravaneras and the El Confital cove.

Families get their own formats: children's city discoveries and environmental activities aim to bring younger participants in. As the city describes it, the programme covers both slow culture and active outdoor experiences.

Who runs it

LPA Estación is organised by Turismo LPA, the tourism arm of the Ayuntamiento de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It falls under the remit of councillor Pedro Quevedo (Turismo, Desarrollo Local y Ciudad de Mar).

According to Quevedo, the edition invites "our own people to rediscover and fall in love with Las Palmas de Gran Canaria". The series is aimed pointedly not only at travellers but also at the people who live here.

How booking works

Tickets are sold online. According to the organisers, sales opened on 30 July 2026 at 10:00, through the lpaestacion.com and lpavisit.com portals. Prices and the details of each experience are published by the organisers on the official sites; no confirmed figure for a single, uniform fee is available.

Participants receive, according to the Ayuntamiento, a Guaguas Municipales voucher for two bus trips once they complete an activity. Demand is strong: Turismo LPA reported that more than 63 per cent of the activities had sold out roughly a week before the start.

Tip: Popular formats go fast. If you have a particular route or workshop in mind, book early via lpaestacion.com – and plan to use the two-trip Guaguas voucher for getting there and back.

Worth watching: Prices, exact times and meeting points for individual experiences were not fully confirmed at the time of writing. Rely on the official details from Turismo LPA and check for last-minute changes before you set out.
