Málaga centre has a number of interesting churches and museums, not to mention the birthplace of Picasso a... ### Day 9: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 10: Las Palmas de G.Canaria (Canary Is.), Spain **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Las Palmas is a city (and municipality) on the island, Gran Canaria, which is one of the Canary Islands (Spain) located 210 kilometers off the northwestern coast of the African continent within the Atlantic Ocean.
