About this listen

A Walk Along Las Canteras is the podcast from Live it up, Las Palmas! — the international community for anyone living, working or wandering through Gran Canaria. We’re the people behind the Slack group, the beach meetups, the insider tips, and now... the beachside chats.

Each episode, we take a stroll along Playa de Las Canteras with someone from our community: locals, expats, digital nomads, long-time island lovers. Expect personal stories, honest reflections, and a few surprises from life on the island. Whether you're already here or just dreaming of it, this is your inside look at what it’s really like.

So, put your cholas on and let’s start walking!

  • Francesca from Rome: How Gran Canaria Became Her Reset Button

    Francesca from Rome: How Gran Canaria Became Her Reset Button
    Jul 9 2025

    What actually happens when you trade Roman traffic for palm trees and move to a small island mid-life? In this episode, Francesca, a literary translator from Italy, shares the real story of starting something fresh in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The good, the hard, and the unexpectedly peaceful. We talk about flat-hunting headaches, fast friendships (and faster goodbyes), long walks along the coast, and how it feels to slow down in a place where Carnaval lasts two months. Thoughtful, funny, and quietly brave; this one’s for anyone who’s ever wondered what “a new chapter” really looks like.
