The University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was created in the 1989. It is located in the Autonomous Region of the Canary Islands (Spain), an undisputed tourist centre, attracting visitors because of its mild climate and the stunning varieties of its landscape. The Autonomous Region of the Canary Islands is one of 17 such regions in Spain, and it is composed of seven islands, split for administrative purposes into two provinces. The province of Las Palmas includes the eastern islands: Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
