It is characterized by very big ports. Famous buildings in the historic center of Las Palmas is the "Vegueta", cathedral Santa Ana and the "Casa Colóns", a splendid colonial style building, in which the Columbus museum is housed.
Further museums in the town are the "Museo Canario" with its collection of valuable historical objects found. More interesting museums to visit are "Museo Néstor" and "Casa Museo Pérez Galdós".
In February the island is taken by the carnival fever. Carnival is prepared with great effort and the preparations are started weeks before the events.
