Are you planning to visit the Canary islands, but don't know which island to choose? The ideal is to include more than one in your itinerary! With MrFerry you can see all the connections between islands and routes to/from the mainland: plan your next trip in a few simple steps!
If you are looking for a way to travel between Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria, we offer the ferry from Puerto del Rosario to Las Palmas. This route will allow you to depart directly from the main city of the island, without having to reach the southern port of Morro Jable.
The company Naviera Armas operates the connections between Puerto del Rosario and Las Palmas with one departure per day, 5 days a week.
The crossing lasts 6 hours and 30 minutes and generally takes place during the daytime.
Why choose Gran Canaria?
While Fuerteventura is known for being the Canary Island with the most beautiful beaches, with fine white and golden sand, crystal clear waters and sun all year round, Gran Canaria offers a varied landscape, with cliffs, forests, dunes and endless views from its high peaks. Here, the climate and nature change abruptly and in a few tens of kilometers you can go from the desert of Maspalomas to the snow-capped peaks of Pico de las Nieves. But Gran Canaria is also home to the most populated city of the archipelago and the capital of the province of the Eastern Canary Islands: Las Palmas.
What to do in Las Palmas?
We are talking about a city that, with its surroundings, is home to more than six hundred thousand inhabitants, so you will be spoilt for choice! Do not miss the urban beach of Las Canteras, which stretches for three kilometers along the promenade of the same name: you can enjoy a golden sandy beach, the calm sea and the services of dozens of bars, restaurants and stores nearby. In addition, there is no shortage of activities, water sports and even artistic and cultural events, such as the sand sculpture exhibition Belén de Arena.
If, on the other hand, you want to get into the most authentic life of Las Palmas, we recommend you to visit the Vegueta neighborhood, where you will find the Cathedral of Santa Ana and, a few steps away, the Canary Museum.
Another area not to be missed is Triana, the old mercantile district, today famous for its streets full of stores and luxurious historic buildings.
With the ferries from Puerto del Rosario you can easily visit Las Palmas, even on weekends! In fact, this route is very popular with both tourists and passengers in transit to the Spanish mainland, but also with locals themselves who want to spend a few days in a different place!
