Gran Canaria, as I mentioned in the previous article, has many tourist attractions, one of them being Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is over 530 years old, although it wasn’t until 1478 that it was founded as a city because originally it was a military base. The following link provides more information on the history of the city. (Click).
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has many tourist spots. Below is a selection of these attractions and I shall talk about them in forthcoming articles:

About a year ago when I first started this blog, I wrote about a couple of places on The Island of Gran Canaria: La Playa de Maspalomas y San Juan de Arucas.
Now that Turismo Natural is almost one year old, we return to The Island of Gran Canaria, as I just recently spent my holidays in Palmas de Gran Canaria. Of course, I shall suggest different places you can visit if you have the chance to travel to the island.
In the following articles you will find out about: beaches, natural monuments, cities… This island is quite complete, which means we can do different types of tourism.

Ávila, the walled city.
I have passed by Ávila several times either because of sport or work and I have often wondered what there might be beyond these city walls as I drive by.
I finally found the moment to pass through this immense wall and visit every nook and cranny of this city and also film the video included in this article to show you what this marvellous walled city is like. This city was also declared a World Heritage in 1985.
If only the walls could speak! How many stories they would tell! The wall, by the way, is in perfect condition. Leer más »

HISTORY: CHURCH OF SANTA MARÍA DEL NARANCO.

Oviedo is an Asturian city which I have talked about before in this blog. It is a culturally and historically rich city, proof of which is the church of Santa María del Naranco.
Santa María del Naranco is set in the hillside of Mount Naranco, amongst beautiful scenery and amazing views of Oviedo, just like San Miguel de Lillo.
This pre-Romanesque monument was ordered to be built by king Ramiro I in 842 AD. It is believed that because Santa María del Naranco does not have an apse, but holds the king’s throne instead, it was used as a country palace or recreational royal residence.
