But you should know this city has been under the rule of six distinct cultures: French, Spanish, Mexican, Texans, Confederates, and the US Americans. The many different influences are still felt today.

Gran Canaria
Like good books that tell stories of adventures and incredible places, the island of Gran Canaria surprises by its landscapes, towns, and main city. An island which well deserves the name of a miniature continent.
A few miles off the coast of Morocco and a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Madrid, we arrive at the Fortunate Islands which, as classic writers used to call these islands.
The contrast of landscapes, we have the feeling of visiting a unique space that is like something out of another world: craters, caves, lava flows and lakes, calderas.
From exuberant pine forests, hills, and high peaks to sandy beaches of diverse colors in the south and a big city in the north. that becomes bigger every time.
