About Las Palmas
What are the main landmarks in Las Palmas?
Las Palmas draws a blank. The register that names Las Palmas stops at the name, giving the district no museum, no church and no monument, while the wider city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra keeps all of it. El Trompillo and Equipetrol do better.
A visitor after sights will spend the day among the older streets of the city, and the entry for Las Palmas gives them nothing to point at.
What is the history of Las Palmas?
Las Palmas holds no founding year, no charter and no dated event, which leaves its past folded into that of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and the Departamento de Santa Cruz around it. Dates sit with the city. What survives for the district is an administrative name and a position on the city's list, beside El Trompillo and Equipetrol.
Bolivia keeps its older story elsewhere.
Where is Las Palmas?
The name outruns the record. Las Palmas lies within Santa Cruz de la Sierra, a city of the Departamento de Santa Cruz, in Bolivia.
