The Riscos of San Juan, are steep mountain slopes in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, flanked with grapevines and colourful, country homes. The narrow, winding streets here and their secret and savoured corners are a wonderful source of inspiration for many Canary Island artists.
Our elders recall how the myriad colours of the houses, with emerald green alongside indigo blue and above a scarlet or a simple grey, are a throwback to times of old when the owners collected left-over paint used to deck out the boats in Puerto de La Luz port.
