Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the capital of Gran Canaria island and co-capital of the Canary Islands, home to approximately 380,000 residents. It operates on Western European Time (WET/WEST) — same timezone as Portugal, not mainland Spain. Las Palmas is one of Spain's largest cities and the largest city in the Canary Islands archipelago. The city was a critical stopping point for Spanish galleons travelling to the Americas — Columbus stopped here on all four of his voyages to the New World, and the Casa de Colón (Columbus's House) museum in the historic Vegueta district preserves this history. Gran Canaria is sometimes called the 'Continent in Miniature' for its remarkable geographic diversity — dramatic volcanic mountains and sand dunes, banana plantations, pine forests, and Atlantic beaches coexist on one island. The Maspalomas Sand Dunes in the south, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, form an extraordinary desert landscape at the ocean's edge.
