The Plano de Las Palmas of 1927 offers a vivid snapshot of the capital of Gran Canaria during a pivotal moment in its urban and economic development. Created in the early decades of the 20th century—a period of modernization across Spain and the Canary Islands—this map reflects the growing importance of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria as both a maritime hub and a cultural center of the Atlantic.

The map presents the city’s distinctive geography, stretching between the Bay of La Isleta and the historic district of Vegueta, where Las Palmas was founded in the late 15th century. Key landmarks such as the Cathedral of Santa Ana, the Port of La Luz, and the expanding neighborhoods of Triana and Ciudad Jardín are carefully represented, showing a city that blended colonial heritage with new architectural and infrastructural ambitions.

By 1927, Las Palmas had become a vital node for international trade routes linking Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The map reveals this dynamism through detailed depictions of port facilities, rail lines, and coastal roads, as well as the growing network of civic buildings, markets, and public parks that reflected a prosperous and outward-looking urban community.

Produced with precision and artistic clarity, the Plano de Las Palmas exemplifies the technical skill of early 20th-century Spanish cartography. More than a navigational aid, it stands as a historical record of the city’s transformation—from a fortified colonial settlement to a modern Atlantic metropolis.
