Las Palmas Pirates Self Guided Treasure Adventure Walk

About this activity

Solve a self-guided pirate adventure on a walk through Las Palmas's historic Old Town. You find a treasure map hidden under a tile in Plaza de las Ranas. It belongs to Ali the Canary, the most famous 17th-century corsair from this island, and his ghost wants you to follow it.

Use Questo app on your phone to follow Ali's map across 10 real locations in Vegueta and Triana: the frog fountain, Pérez Galdós Theatre, Mercado de Vegueta, Casa de Colón, Santa Ana Cathedral, and the City Hall.

Solve riddles, decode clues, and uncover the pirate's final secret.

Every chapter features audio narration. The pirate's ghost tells you the story as the adventure unfolds, while real Canarian history is woven into every stop.

Start anytime, pause whenever, and pick up where you left off. Available in English and Spanish.

Family friendly, great for couples, and perfect for cruise passengers, beach-day-trippers, or anyone exploring Las Palmas with a story.
