Staying in Guanarteme, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Guanarteme is a residential and tourist district in the northern part of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, stretching along the western edge of Playa de Las Canteras, one of the finest urban beaches in Spain. The neighbourhood has a lived-in, authentic feel: you will find family-run tapas bars and fish restaurants alongside surf shops, local supermarkets, and small hotels. It is not a sealed-off resort zone, which means you get genuine city life at your doorstep as well as a long sandy beach a short walk away.
The area connects well to the rest of Las Palmas by bus, and the pedestrianised promenade, the Paseo de Las Canteras, runs the full length of the beach and is ideal for walking or cycling. Guanarteme works particularly well for travellers who want a balance between beach relaxation and city exploration, and for those arriving at Las Palmas port or flying into Gran Canaria Airport, since the district sits at a manageable distance from both points. Accommodation ranges from budget guesthouses to four and five-star hotels, covering a wide range of budgets.

Is Guanarteme a good location for visiting Playa de Las Canteras?+
Yes. Most hotels in Guanarteme are within easy walking distance of Playa de Las Canteras, a sheltered, reef-protected beach that is suitable for swimming almost year-round. The beach is long enough to avoid feeling crowded outside peak summer weeks, and the promenade alongside it has plenty of cafes and bars for a post-swim break.
How easy is it to get around Las Palmas from Guanarteme?+
Guanarteme is well served by the city bus network, known locally as Guaguas Municipales, which connects the district to the historic Vegueta quarter, the commercial centre, and other parts of the island. The area is also flat and walkable along the seafront. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are readily available, and the neighbourhood is close enough to the port area to make day trips to other parts of Gran Canaria straightforward.
