This is an emblem of Canary Islands. As you can see: two dogs - characteristic for canarias, and in the middle part an image of all seven islands. One of them you can find in Las Palmas, on the government building.

City of Aguimes, the old town, very pleasant and quiet place. Old houses, sculptures. Very nice place. In one of the narrow street little shop, closed of course, La Ranita. Means “frog” in english. For me it’s little comic, but, I believe, not everybody see it funny :)

This is it - centre of Las Palmas, a sea avenue at Las Canteras Beach. Nice buildings, nice promenade full of restaurants and smiling people. And in the center of this - a ruine, the old building, walls painted in graffiti and, what’s interesting, a big palm tree inside :D

This is the interior of elevator in Meloneras (Meloneras is the district near Maspalomas). When I first saw it I couldn’t say a word. This table looks like a calculator!
The most funny thing in this is fact that building, where this lift is placed, has no more then 4 floors ;)
