• Parque muy lindo, siempre lleno de gatos y personas tomando fotos. Los banquitos invitan a descansar un rato.

• El disfrute de los niños

• Pigeon Park is dedicated to the local pigeon population. Scattered benches allow wanderers to enjoy a moment of peace from walking the city streets with a magnificent view of the harbor and mountains.

• These pigeons have no fear but it’s kind of cool when they land in you. Just make sure you shoo them away before the leave a little of themselves behind

• For some reason I really enjoyed this little park, with all the locals feeding the pigeons, something I am not used to seeing. Next door there is an interesting religious site of some sort.

• It’s a nice little park. You can get a bag of cracked corn and feed the pigeons. If you don’t like pigeons or are scared of birds landing on you don’t go.

• Near the Paseo de la Princesa , families can take their kids to a fun place where they can interact with the local pigeons. Young children especially love this opportunity.

• Smells funky but great place to people and bird watch and feed the pigeons.

• Great spot for birds. A bit stressful for humans.

• Man sells bird seed by rhe fir st large tree on the right. Pidgeons will land on you

• Spend a dollar on a bag of corn and be a pigeons best friend.

• Watch out for pooping birds overhead

• Watch out for poop!!

Parque de las Palomas – AFAR

Can you imagine standing here in 1876, during the centennial celebrations, when two suffragettes stormed the stage with the Declaration of Rights for Women?

When you’re strolling the streets of Seneca Falls, it’s easy to imagine early suffragettes like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott gathering on street corners to discuss their next meeting.

For two-and-a-half years, suffragettes picketed at Lafayette park, taking up their posts by the statue of Lafayette, every single day.

The suffragettes loved a good road trip. In 1913, delegates from all 48 states drove across the country collecting signatures on petitions for a national suffrage amendment.

This old city is one of my favorites. I love the character and the artsy atmosphere. It’s like New Orleans, but Caribbean style. I was eating lunch outdoors one afternoon and heard the sweetest accordion music. At first, I thought it was coming from hidden speakers. I later realized it was played by this older man. Quiet and reserved, he performed beautifully, and it was a wonderful addition to my afternoon stroll in the city. Do it all here in San Juan: shop, eat, drink, stay, and see some lovely historic sites!

Sweet Sounds of Old San Juan

This old city is one of my favorites. I love the character and the artsy atmosphere. It’s like New Orleans, but Caribbean style. I was eating lunch outdoors one afternoon and heard the sweetest accordion music. At first, I thought it was coming from hidden speakers. I later realized it was played by this older man. Quiet and reserved, he performed beautifully, and it was a wonderful addition to my afternoon stroll in the city. Do it all here in San Juan: shop, eat, drink, stay, and see some lovely historic sites!

Feed the Birds

This always reminds me of Mary Poppins. Pigeon Park is a hidden wonder of Old San Juan. Walk amongst the birds who claim this area as their home. And why wouldn’t they? For a tiny fee, you can feed them from your hands, your head, on the ground… they’ll come. And in gentle swarms. But I love the more cryptic corners of this park where the birds have their own hole-in-the-wall spots to nest. Special treatment? Spa for pigeons? Perhaps. Entertaining? Certainly.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain – all about the city with photos

What to see

The northern part of the city is Santa Catalina Park. In many cafes under lush palm trees, there are a lot of people day and night. In the port part of the park there is an interesting Elder Museum (open: Tue-Sun 10.00-20.00, admission fee) – a well-organized museum of science and technology. From the museum, a landscaped pedestrian area stretches past a futuristic sail that hides a bus terminal to Muella Santa Catalina. The sparkling yellow and blue shopping center “El Muelle” houses shops, cinemas, discos, restaurants and cafes. On the other side of the square, a stone’s throw from the 3 km beach of Playa de las Canteras. Thanks to this beach, Las Palmas became the first tourist resort in Gran Canaria. However, today the golden days of the resort are in the past, and young people have moved to the south. A wide promenade lined with palm trees stretches along the entire beach. Hotels and restaurants lined up here, some of which have been operating since the 60s. 20th century A few hundred meters from the shore is the natural reef of La Barra, which turns the beach into a calm lagoon, where children and all those who cannot swim feel absolutely comfortable.

Take the bus back from Santa Catalina to the beautiful Doramas Landscape Park, named after the Guanche chief. The park is surrounded by the Catalina Hotel. Next to it is the “Canary Village” – Pueblo Canario. Here you can buy handicrafts and see the performances of folklore groups (Sun 11.30, admission is free). The village was built by local modernist artist Néstor Fernández de la Torre (1887-1938) and his brother Miguel, a renowned architect. The Nestor Museum exhibits works by the artist, but now the museum is under restoration and is closed to the public.

To the south is San Telmo Park, where the main bus terminal of Las Palmas (underground) and the beautiful little chapel of Ermita de San Telmo are located. An elegant Art Nouveau kiosk decorated with shiny tiles marks the beginning of one of the city’s oldest districts, Triana. On Mayor de Triana, a long pedestrian street, you will find many magnificent Art Nouveau houses. There are a wide variety of shops and shops here. There is also the House Museum of Perez Galdos (open: Tue-Fri 10.00-16.00, Sat, Sun 10.00-14.00, admission is free). The writer was born in Gran Canaria in 1843. He is rightly called the Spanish Balzac. The house itself is a fine example of Canarian architecture.

Next to the museum, you will see two beautiful squares, Plasoleta de Cairasco and Hurtado de Mendoza, more commonly called Las Ranas (The Frogs) because there is a fountain with two frogs in its center. On Plasoleta de Cairasco, there is a real masterpiece of Art Nouveau – Gabinete Literario, which is considered an artistic and historical monument.

Cross the busy street of Juan de Quesada and you will find yourself in the oldest part of Las Palmas, Veguete. The Spaniards set up camp here in 1478. It is said that Christopher Columbus prayed in the chapel of Hermit de San Antonio Abad before sailing to the New World. Many monuments of colonial architecture have been preserved in this area. You will be pleased to walk along the cobbled streets, admiring the white houses, entwined with bright bougainvillea. The area comes alive in the evenings, when bars and restaurants open almost until the morning.

A beautiful 15th century mansion is located on Colon Street. — House of Columbus (open: Mon-Fri 9.00-19.00, Sat, Sun 9.00-15.00, admission fee). The house is the residence of the first governor of the island. It is believed that Columbus stopped here, although there is no evidence for this. Today it is a curious museum with a beautiful courtyard. The exposition tells about the era of great geographical discoveries. Displayed here are navigational instruments, maps and weapons, a replica cabin on Columbus’ Niña caravel, and pre-Columbian artifacts from Mexico and the Ecuadorian island of La Tolita.

The massive Cathedral of Santa Ana rises around the corner (open: Mon-Fri 10.00-16.30, Sat 10.00-13.30, admission is paid, only through the church museum). The appearance of the cathedral combines elements of Gothic, Renaissance and neoclassical style. Nearby is the Diocesan Museum of Religious Art (open, like the cathedral; entrance from Via Espiritu Santo). See the beautiful cloister and the orange patio, where the silence is broken only by the singing of birds. A modern elevator will take you up to one of the cathedral’s two towers, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of Las Palmas. On Santa Ana Square, opposite the cathedral, there is a magnificent administrative building – Casas Consistoriales.

Not far from the square you can see the Atlantic Center for Contemporary Art (CAAM) (open: Tue-Sat 10.00-21.00, Sun 10.00-14.00, admission free), which presents the work of young Canarian artists. The neighboring Canary Museum (open: Mon-Fri 10.00-20.00, Sat, Sun 10.00-14.00, admission fee) displays a collection of objects dating back to the period before the Spanish conquest. In one of the halls you can see the skulls and mummies of the Cro-Magnons.

Market

Especially popular in Las Palmas is the Begueta Market, which is located on Medisabel Street (open: daily 6.30-14.00). They sell fruits and vegetables, fresh fish, smoked meats and cheeses. There are many good eateries and bars in the market and neighboring streets.
