Final comments
Las Palmas is a pleasant place to live, but itīs an island and is far away almost everything. There you canīt find easily a job too. Although people there are friendly and the quality of life is great. If you have some money to spend now and then is the ideal, because you can take a flight and know other islands, other cities in Spain and other countries in Africa at a reasonable price.
