Las Palmas hosts the Heineken-sponsored Beer & Music festival featuring 19 types of beer and live music from local bands such as Red Beard, The Birkins and Los Salvapantallas. The event takes place over the weekend and several Las Palmas restaurants are in the food vans serving up their specialities.

Puerto de las Nieves is hosting a more traditional food fair with displays of the best traditional and home-grown produce available in Gran Canaria. The event is on the beachfront at PDLN and features cheese, wine, salt, Agaete Valley coffee, etc.

Luckily, both events happen over the whole weekend so nobody has to miss out. 

The wine-tasting at the PDLN event is at the rather early time of 12.00 on Saturday and Sunday. Who's driving?
