Driving in Las Palmas: What are the rules?

Driving in Las Palmas is generally a pleasant experience. The main roads are in excellent condition and quickly connect the city centre with the rest of the island.

During rush hour, traffic can increase, especially in the more central areas and at the main entrances to the city, but traffic remains fairly fluid compared to other large Spanish cities.

Some streets in the historic centre are very narrow or reserved for residents, so it's best to use public parking areas and continue on foot, especially in the Vegueta and Triana areas.

As for parking, the city offers both free parking and metered parking. During high season, finding a spot near Las Canteras beach may take a while.

Speed limits follow Spanish regulations: generally 50 km/h in urban centres and up to 90 km/h on interurban roads.

Visiting Las Palmas by car allows you to discover Gran Canaria with greater freedom and at your own pace.
