Noir novel route: 05. Alameda de Colón

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria · Category: Routes · Subcategory: Noir novel route

Eladio Monroy (...) was suffering that suffocating climate while sitting on a bench at the Alameda de Colón. Opposite, and in front of the Gabinete Literario and the hotel Madrid terrace, the bust of Bartolomé Cairasco de Figueroa was stoically braving the heat, dust and endless pigeon droppings landing on it. Even the birds that usually perched on the branches along the tree-lined avenue were quiet. Just occasionally, the odd car or empty taxi would pass by the crossroads with calle Muro and disappear down General Bravo.
