Healthy food for remote workers in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is an important topic, related to productivity, local impact, and sustainability.
There are some areas and neighborhoods where most vegan and healthy restaurants are located, like
- Las Canteras Beach
- Las Palmas Old Town
- El Corte Ingles open shopping area
Why eat local and healthy?
When traveling and working remotely is very important to eat as much as possible local products, increasing our impact on the local economy, and helping local businesses and family economies.
Most healthy restaurants and takeaways use local products in their recipes, from small farmers.
On the other hand, working remotely requires a good balanced diet.
Our daily diet and productivity are connected, long hours in front of the computer, and boring meetings are extremely demanding.
You need a good amount of high-quality nutrients to keep that level of concentration.
Vegan options
Vegan is getting bigger and bigger in Las Palmas. Our planet needs more and more vegans for many reasons,
- Ethics and the welfare of animals
- Environment, greenhouse, deforestation etc
- Health
- Delicious tasty meals
There is a growing vegan community in the city and many shops and supermarkets are well-stocked with many vegan brands and products.
