History
The Province of Las Palmas is located in the eastern part of the Canary Islands, Spain. The province has a rich history, dating back to prehistoric times.
The first inhabitants of the Canary Islands were the Guanches, who were a group of indigenous people that lived on the islands before the arrival of the Spanish in the 15th century. The Guanches were skilled farmers, fishermen, and hunters, and had their own language, culture, and religion.
In 1402, the Spanish arrived on the island of Lanzarote and began colonizing the Canary Islands. The conquest of the islands was a slow process that took several decades. The Spanish established a number of towns and cities on the islands, including Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which was founded in 1478.
