If you want to combine both experiences:
- Head to Las Canteras for the midnight fireworks
- Then move to Santa Catalina for music and dancing afterward
Keep in mind that taxis and ride shares are usually in high demand after midnight, so plan accordingly.
New Year’s Eve in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will once again be split between fireworks by the sea and music in the city center. Whether you prefer a quiet beach countdown or a full night of dancing, now you know what to expect.
