Why live in Las Palmas?
In Spain, life expectancy is the third highest in the world, a fact that we have to take into account when we decide to buy a home because a home is to be enjoyed for many years. When we look for a home we look for a place to establish our home, where to spend the best vacations of our life and where to create the best memories for our family. That is why it is so important to decide where to live and choose a place that helps us lead a full life, that drives us to fulfill all our goals and that increases our happiness. To extend life expectancy we must take care of our diet and maintain a healthy lifestyle. All this is easier if we live in an environment with a pleasant climate like Gran Canaria.
Living by the sea brings numerous health benefits, walking along the seashore activates blood circulation and muscles. Exposure to sunlight is necessary to recharge our vitamin D organism, without forgetting the use of a sunscreen to avoid damaging the skin. The air quality is a problem that stalks European cities, in Las Palmas you will breathe the air Cleaner of all Spanish cities thanks to the trade winds that renew the air.

A key factor in the decision to buy a home is the brightness that it has because we feel happier in a bright space than in a dark one. In the Canary Islands we have an average of 4,800 hours of sunshine per year, the place with the most solar hours in Europe and this is reflected in the character of the Canaries and in the low rates of depression. Exposing ourselves to sunlight reduces the risk of sclerosis and serotonin production, also known as the happiness hormone, will be improved.
If you look at the tax aspect, the Canary Islands have numerous tax incentives for companies. Some of the tax advantages are: Canary Islands Special Zone (ZEC) which allows a reduced rate of 4% in the Corporate Tax; deductions for investments in R + D + i between 45% and 75%. As for consumption, the general VAT rate is 7%. Later we will go into detail in all the tax benefits you can get by living and establishing your company in the Canary Islands.
And as life is made to enjoy it, if any problem arises we have a medical health system considered one of the best in the world.
If you want to live in the eternal spring where stable and pleasant temperatures will allow you to fully enjoy each day, Canary is your place, Canary is your home.
